The Louis Sullivan Fraternity House


[ L ][ M ]

I respectfully suggest that it would be better to caption the site either "The Harold C. Bradley House" or "The Sigma Phi Fraternity House". The reason for my suggestion is a follows. The house was built for Professor Harold C. Bradley and his wife. If I recall correctly, construction began the summer of 1908, and the house was completed around 1912. The Bradley's occupied it for a few years and then sold it to the Sigma Phi fraternity, the current owner. It is highly unlikely, to say the least, that Louis Sullivan (or his partner George Gratn Elmslie, who did much of the work), had any idea when he designed the house that it would be used as a fraternity residence.
