Richard Driehaus Quote

[mcnicholasarchitects]

Philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus (1942-2021) touched our firm and its founders in myriad ways since we opened up shop in Chicago over 13 years ago. Much of his impact was felt through he and his Foundation’s broad support of the Arts, and specifically Classical Architecture; whether hosting soirees that served as annual reunions for our cohort of colleagues and peers; opening up the doors to the Driehaus Museum to serve as home base for the lecture series Elizabeth organized in her 10 years with the ICAA Chicago; or outbidding all others to secure one of Matt (and friends’) first titan live drawings, the funds of which went to support arts education. Richard was known to have a particular fondness for the Art Nouveau, a taste niche Matt & Elizabeth share. Intensely. In tribute to him and that mutual interest, this week we’ll open up the vaults with a tour of a few Art Nouveau treasures we’ve hunted on our travels over the years. By cherishing and celebrating his support and incredible generosity, may we all be inspired to give more to the betterment of art, culture, place, and community. Thank you Richard.
