bldg. 51 museum acquires exceptionally rare 1930 american stoveboard catalog with louis h. sullivan-designed board
This entry was posted on February 23 2024 by Eric
original 1930 american stoveboard company catalog (i've been searching for one for at least 10 years).so now i know without doubt that by 1930, they carried only one louis h. sullivan-designed board in their product catalog. it's a rather unusual one and the size displayed, does not surface often.
sullivan likely secured the two hundred dollar commission through his former draftsman, frank lloyd wright, who designed a prairie style house for ward willits, director of the chicago-based american stove board company.
i've included additional sullivan-designed lithographed sheet steel boards that were likely introduced around 1922-24.
