He abandoned his architectural practice in 1880 after completing a series of buildings at Yale, and became the foremost architectural critic of his day. In periodicals, books, encyclopedia articles, and lectures, he championed Louis Sullivan and sparked a national awareness of art and architecture. His monumental History of Architecture (4 vols, 1906–15) was unfinished at his death. |
