images of richard nickel’s adler & sullivan building ornament collection on display at lovejoy library, southern illinois university edwardsville (siue). nickel sold his architectural artifact collection to the university in 1965 but continued salvaging additional fragments until his untimely death in 1972.
it was incredibly cool to see the collection with chicago architect john vinci, who had not seen the ornament since it left chicago in 1965. to hear his stories rescuing ornament with friend and fellow salvager richard nickel was equally rewarding.
images from the gallery below:
note: the top image was taken by richard nickel shortly after the installation was completed after 1965. the following image is a modern view of the same wall (south wall) or ornament.
