Chicago Stock Exchange Building, Facade Panel 1894

This terracotta panel, created by the renowned architectural firm Adler & Sullivan in 1894, is a fragment from the Chicago Stock Exchange Building. The intricate, geometric design is characteristic of the firm's "Chicago School" style, a movement known for its innovative use of materials and its emphasis on functionalism and ornamentation. The panel showcases the firm's masterful use of repeating patterns and stylized forms, creating a visually arresting and harmonious design that exemplifies the aesthetic of late 19th-century architecture.
