Day two of crazy, unrelenting wind in Wisconsin. Up to state road 60 and west about 30 miles, I came to Columbus, home of Louis Sullivan's Farmers and Merchants Bank, the last of his eight, country "jewel box" banks he designed toward the end of his career. The Farmer's and Merchants was recently used in Michael Mann's Public Enemies . as a bank robbed by Dillinger. I wasn't quite as thrilled as I usually am to set my eyes upon a Louis Sullivan building. Perhaps because I recently saw the bigger, almost palatial National Farmer's Bank in Owatonna (see post entitled "The Bay, The Riverview and Louis Sullivan Too" to see pictures of the National Farmers), Minnesota. Perhaps because it was difficult to stand still and take photos in the high wind. Perhaps because I was practically assaulted by an American flag, while standing across the street to take the photo above. I'm trying not to look at that too symbol...
