Graceland Cemetery Tour

I went on a guided tour this weekend of what a local historical association calls "Chicago's own 'Valley of the Kings' tour".  What started out as a rainy gray day turned into a beautiful fall day perfect for an outside walking tour.

Louis Henri Sullivan, distinguished architect who died penniless because of alcoholism.  Pennies are left all over his headstone.  Pennies for the penniless, I guess.  Sullivan actually designed several tombs here prior to his own arrival.
