Until I read this short advance (via Kristen Richards' Archnewsnow.com), I assumed that the PBS special on Daniel Burnham that premiers Monday evening would be yet another modernist attempt to steal a great traditionalist master into the modernist cause. As has been the fate of another great Chicagoan, Louis Sullivan (to name just one). Maybe it still will be that. We'll have to wait and see. But this advance (in Architectural Record of all places!) suggests otherwise.
