#Driehaus Museum

[marzipanandminutiae]

so this is fairly random, but i’m curious to know if you’ve ever heard of/been to the driehouse museum in chicago? it’s a preserved/restored home from the guilded age, and it’s genuinely one of the most beautiful places i’ve ever seen—i would highly recommend looking it up online! i visited it today (and almost cried at how stunning some of the architectural features were, haha) and thought it seemed like something you would appreciate.

I looked it up. Ye. Gods.

Next time I'm in Chicago...

I realize this is a weird question for a Sunday morning, but does anybody have particularly incisive articles about the tension between architectural preservation and the need (because I do think it's a need!) for new buildings, new spaces, and revising the landscape of a city?

I'm watching a piece on Richard Nickel, who is almost single-handedly responsible for photographing the work of Louis Sullivan and other architects of the Chicago Prairie School, prior to their demolition in the 60s. It's a great piece, and I love Nickel's photographs, but as someone who knows only the Chicago that sprang up in the wake of Nickel's, I can't help but wonder if there's more than simple aesthetics at play here.

#like...I love the driehaus museum! house museums are very cool. #if they manage to rehab the lu palmer mansion and muddy waters' house on the south side I will be ecstatic #but also people need places to live and work. these places need indoor plumbing and laundry rooms and kitchens. #architecture is great but so are grocery stores. #I love fancy buildings and history but you can't trap a city under glass like that. that's not how it works. #..............anyway hope everybody else is having a normal one and not grappling with existential questions of historical memory at 9am

Spent a lovely evening exploring the stunning Richard H. Driehaus Museum, which is housed within an old mansion from Chicago's Gilded Age.

I was invited to the museum's seasonal open house and opening celebration of Glass to Garden: Tiffany Inspired Floral Designs (exhibition not pictured here—I took so many photos!). Brought my parents as my guests, of course. ^^ Thank you to Katy from The Silverman Group for the invitation—so good seeing you tonight!

Also (in the last photo), thanks to the old-timey restroom, Today I Learned: Crapper is the real name of a plumbing equipment company. Who knew!
