Of all the beautiful buildings on Lincoln Square, the Krause House, more widely known as the Museum of Decorative Arts building, stands out as a little different, a little more ornate than the others.

In the 1920s, William P. Krause commissioned architect William Presto to build a music store with an apartment above it for him to live in. Presto approached renowned architect Louis Sullivan, father of such famous Chicago landmarks as the Auditorium Theatre, the old Chicago Stock Exchange and the Carson Pirie Scott building on State Stree, for help with the design. It became Sullivan's last project.
