	Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society: Sullivanesque: Urban Architecture and Ornamentation/The Chicago ...
		Given the "vernacular" nature of Schmitt's objects of inquiry (most of the Sullivanesque buildings Schmitt illustrates are modest commercial buildings from the upper Midwest), his traditional "Great Architecture" approach to his subject-that is, his emphasis on biography and stylistic development-comes as something of a surprise.
		Siry ultimately sees the Auditorium Building as a symbol of the triumph of capital over labor, arguing that it is the fruit of a deliberate ploy by elite patron Ferdinand Peck (1848-1924) to create a civic institution that would both placate and reeducate Chicago's working classes into greater docility.
		Schmitt not only provides town-by-town listings of Sullivanesque buildings, but also rates the buildings' architectural interest on a scale from 1 to 5 (a move that, although perhaps theoretically suspect, does make it easier to decide whether a given building is worth driving a few miles out of the way to see).
