I will be working on the clay model of this and upon completion of the various processes I&#8217;ll be producing them in hand-pressed kiln fired red terracotta just\u00a0 like the originals. I have pretty much everything ready to start on my model this weekend of this charming and interesting 1884 design by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler.

Those involved in creating the original 1884 Chicago design are said to have included; Dankmar Adler Louis Sullivan George Grant Elmslie Kristian Schneider Kristian Schneider, a Norwegian sculptor, immigrated to Chicago in 1884, and had modeled all of Louis Sullivan&#8217;s ornamental work since 1889.

Schneider was a clay modeller, said by one source to have worked at Northwestern Terracotta Co., another source said he worked at Midland Terracotta Co., and a third source said American TerraCotta Co., maybe over the years he worked at all three of them, but one thing for sure is he appears in photos in &#8220;Common Clay&#8221; standing by models produced for American TerraCotta for Chicago buildings, from which this design had originated.
