	Unified Vision > The Collection > William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie
		In 1909 Elmslie's twenty-year employment with Sullivan came to an end, and Purcell encouraged him to join the Minneapolis partnership.
		Elmslie's entry into the partnership brought an added complexity of composition and ornamental design, tying their work more directly to Louis Sullivan's decorative tradition.
		Purcell and Elmslie's architecture is characterized by open floor plans with the hearth as a focal point, versatile rooms that served multiple functions, custom designed built-in and free-standing furniture, and large bands of windows to take advantage of the light at various time of day.

	PrairieMod: Purcell & Elmslie: A Crash Course (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie were progressive American architects who were the second most commissioned firm of practicing Prairie School architects after Frank Lloyd Wright.
		Both Purcell and Elmslie worked for periods of time in Louis Sullivan's office before moving into their own practices (Purcell and Feick in 1907; Purcell, Feick and Elmslie in 1910; and Purcell and Elmslie in 1913).
		Elmslie was especially influenced by Louis Sullivan's style of ornamentation design and ultimately surpassed the master in his ability to dream up beautifully complex decorative patterns.
