Lucius Fisher (1843-1916). He was a Chicago, Illinois paper company magnate and architect. In 1895, he commissioned Daniel Burnham and Company to build the 20 story, 275 foot tall Fisher Building in the Chicago Loop.

The writer of the 1896 article described the building thus:
But here, for what we believe to be the first time in human experience, one of the highest commercial buildings in the world has been erected almost without any bricks. It fronts on three streets, and on the remaining side adjoins other property. The fronts are covered with cellular terra cotta on the outside, not in imitation of a wall, but following upward the steel supporting members, and closing in the transoms between the windows, leaving two-thirds of the exterior to be enclosed by glass… Only two bricklayers were employed at any time in this part of the work.

The Fisher Building, 343 South Dearborn Street in the Chicago Loop, was commissioned by paper magnate Lucius Fisher. The original 18-story building was completed in 1896 by D.H. Burnham & Company; the architect was Charles B. Atwood, who died before the building's completion. An addition was later added in 1907.
Some facts about the building, from the Emporis site:
The original wing was only the second building in Chicago to reach 18 stories (after the Masonic Temple), and is the oldest still standing at that height.
Because of the building's great height for its time, the usual spread foundations were supplemented with piles underneath them to support the added weight.
The second floor was originally a banking room, and has especially large windows compared to the floors above it.
To enhance the facade's vertical emphasis, most of the ornamentation is placed on its horizontal members, reducing the banding effect that would occur if they were blank.
The Gothic ornament is in the 15th century style of Bruges and Rouen.
Declaring the structure a Chicago Landmark in 1978, the Landmarks Division noted:
Cladding this early skyscraper with Gothic-inspired, terra-cotta tracery was not a casual stylistic choice. Its designers looked for inspiration to the early Gothic cathedrals of Europe, which shared common characteristics of tallness and often having more glass than masonry. Cut glass door panel Eagles and mythical beasts decorate the upper stories, and aquatic creatures and seashells--a visual pun on the name of the building's original owner, Lucius G. Fisher--are found at the base. A later addition to the north is largely a repetition of the original design, except for the absence of bay windows.

Architectural Description from the 1965 Historic American Buildings Survey Report [Link to PDF of report here]
PART 11 ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION A. General Statement: I. Architectural character: The Fisher Building is a large office 'building designed by the firm of D. H. Burnham Co. in 1895. It has been cited by the Chicago Landmarks Commission and it is indicative of the level of achievement in skyscraper design attained by the architects of the Chicago School. The steel cage structure is sheathed in a curtain wall of decorative terra cotta and glass, providing ample space and light for the occupants and making it possible for the building to be erected relatively quickly and economically. B. Description of Exterior: 1. Over-all dimensions: Rectangular 70'-6" (five-bay south front) x 150' 0" (eleven-bay west front), including addition. Eighteen stories. 2. Wall construction, finish and color: The original block of the building had tripartite projecting bays alternating with planed surfaces. Bays end at sill of 17th story. Arches of varying width span the window openings of the 17th floor. The original salmon terra cotta finish is now coated with a black patina from the soot and dirt of the city. 3. Openings: a. Doorways and doors: The arched entrance on VanBuren Street, originally the principal entrance, is intact; that at 343 South Dearborn Street has received a 20th century I 'modernization"--a polished granite portal with plate glass and aluminum doors. The original doors from the vestibule inside are decorated with an ornamental fish cut in the glass panels. b.. Windows: Mostly one-over-one light, double-hung windows; those of the original building are grouped three to a bay window, two between; in the north addition, the windows are placed in a plane in groups of three. At the 17th floor the lights are gathered under wide arches; at the 18th they are again in threes with transoms above. The first floor display windows have been disfigured by a variety of signs, aluminum panels, and other attempts at commercial modernization. ...General setting and orientation: The buiIding occupies the southern portion of a narrow block at the south end of the Loop. Its neighbors are the Old Colony Building (HABS No. ILL-1053) to the south and the Monadnock BuiIding (HABS NO. ILL-1027) to the west. The buiIding fronts the sidewalk line on three sides and is adjacent to the elevated on VanBuren Street. Prepared by Larry J. Homolka, Historian and Assistant Supervisor National Park Service August, 1965.

I find it kind of funny that the complete works of Shakespeare and Hamlet are both on here. You'd think you'd only need one or the other. Also I've read all of Harry Potter except for the last book because I heard the ending was terrible, but since it didn't list specific books I didn't bold it. I've also seen the play of the curious incident but I'm not sure if that counts either.
I'm hoping to be able to get all the way through Dracula in real time this year. 🙏🏼

# 25 Unforgettable Books that Will Change Your Perspective Books have the profound ability to transport us to different worlds, introduce us to new ideas, and challenge our perceptions. Among the millions of books available, some stand out for their unique perspectives, thought-provoking content, and the lasting impact they have on readers. Here, we explore 25 unforgettable books that promise to change your perspective on life, society, and yourself. ## Fiction That Opens New Worlds ### 1. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee This classic novel explores themes of racial injustice and moral growth through the eyes of a young girl in the Deep South of the 1930s. Its timeless message about empathy and compassion continues to resonate with readers worldwide. ### 2. "1984" by George Orwell Orwell's dystopian masterpiece offers a chilling exploration of totalitarianism, surveillance, and individual freedom. It serves as a powerful warning of the dangers of unchecked government power and the erosion of personal liberties. ### 3. "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho A tale of self-discovery and pursuing one's dreams, "The Alchemist" follows a young shepherd on his journey to find a hidden treasure. Along the way, he learns about the importance of listening to his heart and understanding the signs of life. ### 4. "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel This novel's rich narrative explores themes of faith, survival, and the power of storytelling. Stranded in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger, the protagonist's adventure is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. ### 5. "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak Set in Nazi Germany, this novel tells the story of a young girl who finds solace in stealing books and sharing them with others. Through the eyes of Death, it offers a unique perspective on the human capacity for kindness in the face of brutality. ## Non-Fiction That Inspires and Educates ### 6. "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari Harari's sweeping narrative of human history examines how Homo sapiens came to dominate the world. It challenges readers to reconsider everything from the development of societies to our impact on the environment. ### 7. "Educated" by Tara Westover This memoir recounts Westover's journey from growing up in a strict, survivalist family in Idaho to earning a PhD from Cambridge University. It's a compelling testament to the power of education and the quest for self-invention. ### 8. "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg Duhigg explores the science behind why habits exist and how they can be changed. Through engaging case studies, he shows how understanding the patterns that shape our lives can lead to transformative change. ### 9. "Becoming" by Michelle Obama In her memoir, the former First Lady shares the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood in Chicago to her years in the White House. It's an intimate, inspiring look at the power of resilience and hope. ### 10. "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl Frankl's memoir of his time in Nazi concentration camps discusses his theory of logotherapy, which posits that the search for meaning is the primary motivational force in humans. It's a profound exploration of suffering, survival, and finding purpose. ## Books That Challenge Societal Norms ### 11. "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood Atwood's dystopian novel imagines a future America where women are subjugated and stripped of their rights. It's a powerful commentary on feminism, autonomy, and resistance. ### 12. "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley Huxley's vision of a future society obsessed with technology, comfort, and conformity raises important questions about freedom, happiness, and the cost of progress. ### 13. "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison This seminal work explores the African American experience and the societal invisibility of black people in early 20th-century America. It's a profound examination of identity, race, and the search for self.
### 14. "Beloved" by Toni Morrison Morrison's haunting novel about a former slave haunted by her past challenges readers to confront the brutal realities of slavery and its lasting impacts. It's a powerful story of memory, trauma, and redemption. ### 15. "The Second Sex" by Simone de Beauvoir De Beauvoir's groundbreaking work on women's oppression and liberation is a foundational text of feminist philosophy. It examines the construction of gender roles and advocates for women's autonomy and freedom. ## Books That Explore Human Emotion and Relationships ### 16. "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman This heartwarming tale of a curmudgeonly old man who finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous family moves in next door is a touching exploration of love, loss, and the unexpected friendships that change us. ### 17. "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy In this post-apocalyptic novel, a father and his son journey through a burned America, exploring themes of survival, the bond between parent and child, and what it means to be human in the face of desolation. ### 18. "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami Murakami's melancholic novel captures the essence of youth, love, and loss. Set in 1960s Tokyo, it follows a young man's complex relationships and his journey toward emotional healing. ### 19. "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom This novel tells the story of Eddie, an amusement park maintenance man who dies and encounters five individuals in heaven who help him understand the significance of his life. It's a reflective exploration of the interconnectedness of human lives. ### 20. "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath Plath's semi-autobiographical novel about a young woman's descent into mental illness is a raw and powerful examination of gender, identity, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. ## Books That Encourage Personal Growth ### 21.

Description: Throughout his several tours of Vietnam, Dennis Foley served with America's finest warriors -- men like David Hackworth, the nation's most decorated living soldier, and Jim Gardner, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for sacrificing his life so that his men might live. Now, in a tough, clear-eyed account, he recaptures the raw courage and sacrifice of American soldiers fighting a savage and desperate battle for survival.
Review: I have always loved Foley's fictional writing, it's really some of the best out there. But it took me this long to read his memoir of his time with Tiger Recon and his long career in the army. Let me just say this, Foley is very good at telling a story, crafting the narrative, and giving all the details to set the scene. He's an excellent writer, and the information he shares really puts you in the scene, each step of the way. Whether it's his time in Germany repairing radios and radars or with Tiger Force, he's not shy about letting the readers know just how far out of his element he was, and how shocked he was to actually succeed. He always feels like everyone else is better, has their shit together, and as he puts it, he's more Jell-O than rock. It's a great insight into training and being a trainer at Ft Benning, various locations in Vietnam, being a LRP, being in Tiger Force, and more. A really great book.

State Street, Chicago (No. 1)
The Chicago Theatre, originally known as the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre, is a landmark theater located on North State Street in the Loop area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Built in 1921, the Chicago Theatre was the flagship for the Balaban and Katz (B&K) group of theaters run by A. J. Balaban, his brother Barney Balaban and partner Sam Katz. Along with the other B&K theaters, from 1925 to 1945 the Chicago Theatre was a dominant movie theater enterprise.  Currently, Madison Square Garden, Inc. owns and operates the Chicago Theatre as a performing arts venue for stage plays, magic shows, comedy, speeches, sporting events and popular music concerts.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 6, 1979, and was listed as a Chicago Landmark January 28, 1983. The distinctive Chicago Theatre marquee, "an unofficial emblem of the city",  appears frequently in film, television, artwork, and photography.
The structure is seven stories tall and fills nearly one half of a city block. The 60-foot (18 m) wide by six-story tall triumphal arch motif of the State Street façade has been journalistically compared to the l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The central arch-headed window adapts the familiar motif of Borromini's false-perspective window reveals of the top floor of Palazzo Barberini, Rome. The coat of arms of the Balaban and Katz chain—two horses holding ribbons of 35 mm film in their mouths outlined by a border of film reels—is set inside a circular Tiffany stained glass window inside the arch.  The exterior of the building is covered in off-white architectural terracotta supplied by the Northwestern Terra Cotta Company with Neo-Baroque stucco designs by the McNulty Brothers.  
At the time of the building's 1978 application for the National Register of Historic Places designation, the venue's marquee had been replaced twice. The original marquee was basic and facilitated two lines of text for announcements. The 1922–23 marquee had ornate "flashing pinwheels, swirls and garlands of colored lights". It also included "milk glass letter attraction boards, and CHICAGO in large letters on three sides". The 1949 replacement was similar to the second marquee, but its attraction boards were larger and the oversized CHICAGO lettering only appeared on the front. Until Balaban and Katz' 1969 sale to the American Broadcasting Company, their name was on the marquee. The entire marquee was replaced in 1994, but retains the look of its predecessor.In 2004, the original marquee was donated to the Smithsonian Institution.The marquee is featured in numerous movies and TV shows set in Chicago, and its neon font was used in the title of the 2002 film Chicago.

The first floor and basement were designed by John Root of the Burnham and Root architectural firm in 1890, with the rest of the building completed by Charles B. Atwood in 1895. It is the first skyscraper to have large plate glass windows make up the majority of its surface area, foreshadowing a design feature that would become dominant in the 20th century
The Reliance Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970; and on January 7, 1976, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. 
The Reliance Building is also part of the Loop Retail Historic District, a collection of over one hundred buildings that reflects the growth of State and Wabash Streets as the central retail district of Chicago. The building fell into disrepair starting in the 1940s, and was restored in the late 1990s. Since 1999, the building has housed the 122-room Staypineapple, An Iconic Hotel, The Loop (formerly the Hotel Burnham) and Atwood Cafe. 
The addition of the remaining floors in 1894–1895 completed the building and marked the "first comprehensive achievement" of the Chicago construction method.  The building's plate-glass windows are set within the terra-cotta-tiled facade. Its steel-frame superstructure is built atop concrete caissons sunk as much as 125 feet beneath the footing.
The Reliance Building has been called "proto-Modernist" in its lack of the hierarchy found in Classical facades.  Its stacks of projecting bay windows and terra-cotta cladding create an effect of extraordinary lightness. Its steel frame construction is physically light as well, being one-third the weight of an equivalent stone structure. It was a direct precursor of the all-glass Friedrichstrasse skyscraper proposed by Mies van der Rohe in 1921.Richardson's Marshall Field Warehouse, built only eight years earlier, seems in comparison to be heavy, ponderous, and of another era.

Whumpblr Re-Introduction Post
It’s been like.... 2 years since I made this blog and pretty much a year since I was properly active, but i figured now is as good a time as any to re-introduce my blog for the people that follow me!
Hello! I’m Abi, she/her, in my 20′s and i guess technically, no longer a whumping-newbie XD but i do not want to change my blog name. I have too many masterposts and links and i do not want to go to the effort of changing every SINGLE one because i changed the name so. The name is staying XD
I love to see reluctant whumpers, creepy captors, lots of hurt/angst and some spicy stuff too!
I have a few stories on this blog that are very much the definition of WIP XD perpetually in progress. But anyway! Under the cut for length.
My main project - Angel:
Most of the stories on this blog are from the perspective of my reluctant whumper, Michał, and his story can be found [Here]. If you’re interested in some of the less whumpy context for the story, it can be found on my writing blog [Here] (and the prequel [Here]). It’s a story about a Princess who is on the run after her country is overthrown and her father executed by the former army General - who will not stop until he has captured the Princess once again. Michał, who is loyal to the Princess, must try and keep his intentions hidden but do whatever he can to stop the General from finding the Princess.
I do have a dark AU for this story, but i don’t really know if i want to post it XD maybe if people are interested.
A project that is on hiatus but is nevertheless here - the Whumper Gathering, aka Lot 1′s Story:
Based on a post [x] [x] by @straight-to-the-pain and @scath001, whumpees are auctioned off and taken by very rich ppl. Idk the worldbuilding isn’t thought out that much XD but here features Lot 1 and a few other whumpees who find themselves caught up in this system. The master post is [Here].
And I find myself working on an ever-growing list of stories with the one and only @justplainwhump! She’s a fantastic writer and RP partner, and we have a few stories together! (most of which are on [her blog], but i really should post more of mine here XD)
Set in her Street Magic universe, one of my OC’s in there is Creepy Charles “Charlie” Atwood, a high-ranking councilman who is sadistic, and has something of an unhealthy obession with his best friend’s wife Marissa. Most of these stories are NSFW, and Sara’s blog is 18+, so I shall repeat this here. Please don’t read or interact with these if you are under 18. The stories are tagged and read-more’d, but please heed them.
There is the Charlie/Marissa/Jason story, where Marissa is held captive in Charlie’s basement and hurt a Lot.
And the Casino AU, a sandbox where Marissa and other whumpees are forced to work for an ultra exclusive brothel on the top floor of a luxury casino (created also with the help of @sableflynn!). (warning for humiliation, captivity, noncon (not explicit), intimate whumpers, sadistic whumpers, lady whump (mostly lady whumpees, but also lady whumpers), human trafficking) There’s plenty of angst, and very little comfort here. Except for #Maritessa. There is plenty of content here, including other collaborations with @what-a-whump and her amazing characters too! Dany and B comf gives me life tbh #Bany. My characters in this universe, aside from Charlie, include Emily Lola, a student who was brought to the casino because she fit a profile and no one will miss her, Mr Jamie and Mrs Leona Fiennes, a married couple searching for entertainment (overly cheerful and low key discovering their taste for sadism too).
For less whump, more comf, and some more character pieces (with a tiny bit of angst for good measure), this is Lilly’s Story - about Charlie’s daughter whom he disowned for her magic. This is more intrinsically tied to the Street Magic universe, but her story focusses on her relationship with a fellow mage.
Lastly, I have something that I would like to post soon. My gift for my secret sunflower from months ago lmao @greatandquestionablecontent!
A reluctant whumper, a fiesty lady whumpee, and a very terrifying grandma (and cats, lots of cats).
I think that’s everything? I would like to post more of my writing here but I need time and inspiration, but for now, this is a nice place to start for anyone who comes across my blog!
