Henry Schlacks
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Henry J. Schlacks (July 4, 1867 – January 6, 1938) was an ecclesiologist from Chicago, Illinois, considered by many to be the finest of Chicago's church architects. Schlacks trained at MIT and in the offices of Adler & Sullivan before starting his own practice. He founded the Architecture Department at the University of Notre Dame and designed several buildings in the Chicago area.
