Chicago Stories
The Richard Nickel Story
Special | 26m 48s
The inspiring life and untimely death of a crusading architectural preservationist.
Just a few decades ago, Chicago was tearing many architectural landmarks, including the work of legendary architect Louis Sullivan. No one, it seemed, felt it was important to document and preserve them. No one, that is, except photographer Richard Nickel. This idealistic young crusader's passion to save Chicago's architectural treasures consumed his life and ultimately caused his untimely death.
