		Chicago was a particularly active location for this debate, which is clearly indicated by the range of designs and styles produced by local architects from roughly 1890 to 1915.
		From the historic revival designs of Daniel Burnham, Henry Ives Cobb, and Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, to the avant-garde work of Adler and Sullivan, Walter and Marion Mahoney Griffin, and Frank Lloyd Wright, Chicago was unique in the range and number of its gifted architects.
		The prominence of the city as a center of architectural excellence is due to these designers, who pursued their individual philosophies with vigor, each attempting to define the architecture of their time with the intent to improve the lives of their clients through design.

		When the State's second Capitol burned down on Ground Hog Day in 1897, the Legislature allocated only $550,000 to construct a new building, hiring Chicago architect Henry Ives Cobb who designed a plain brick building to meet the budget constraints.
		The new Capitol, completed in 1906 at a cost of $13 million, was dedicated by President Teddy Roosevelt, declaring it "the most beautiful State Capitol in the nation." One of the most impressive features of the Pennsylvania Capitol today is its elegantly designed expansion wing.
		The artwork filling the Pennsylvania Capitol is awesome, especially the mosaic tiled floor designed by Henry Chapman Mercer; the murals by Edwin Austin Abbey; the paintings by Violet Oakley, and the marble angel sculptures at the foot of the main staircase.

	University of Chicago from Chicago's Famous Buildings by Franz Schulze and Kevin Harrington
		In 1891 a plan of the newly founded school was conceived by two of its trustees, Martin Ryerson and Charles L. Hutchinson, and plotted by Chicago architect Henry Ives Cobb.
		That space, now known as the Main Quadrangles and clearly perceptible as the heart of the university, was outfitted with buildings based on the English Gothic model of Oxford University.
		Several of the early components of the grouping were designed by Cobb himself, the oldest of them Cobb Hall (1891, named for a benefactor, not the architect), and Ryerson Physical Laboratory and Kent Chemical Laboratory, each dating from 1894.

		The station, built by the Chicago and North West Railway as a gateway to Glencoe, was constructed ruing the ''Railroad Beautiful'' movement.
		The exterior resembles the work of Henry Hobson Richardson, a Boston architect who designed imposing masonry building and railroad depots.
		Its heavy massing, canted piers, prominent tower and flared eaves, create a style well suited to railroad stations: the overhanging roof provides protection from the elements, the tower serves as a visual landmark and the massive limestone piers reinforce the building against vibration of passing trains.
