With the advent of "modern" architecture in Europe, the growing fame of the Chicago skyscraper idiom, and Frank Lloyd Wright's "Prairie School" architecture, intense pressures for change began to build in architectural education.

His architectural works were an integral part of the neoclassical movement, but their adaptation to the convenience, ideals, and requirements of the new nation made them uniquely Jeffersonian.
