Description
An account of the resource
Photo view of Paris's Tuileries gardens and Place de la Concorde, east of the Louvre, Paris, ca. 1890s. In the distance can be seen the 1889 Eiffel Tower.
This is a Swiss-process "Photochrom" image, colorized from black and white, for which the Detroit Publishing Co., as marked lower right in the image, had obtained exclusive rights in this country.
The image is one of about eight hundred large-format study photographs apparently acquired in Europe/Paris and then brought back to Chicago, where they were mounted on linen and loosely bound by string in hard boards. Sizes vary.
This print shows the character of the balusters, lighting, etc. at the east end of the Tuileries gardens at the Place de la Concorde. This suggest the future character of one of the first parts of Grant Park to be completed, in late 1910s, north of Monroe Street and to Randolph, and east of Michigan Ave. to the tracks. This was replaced in the early 2000s by Millennium Park, but Bennett's photographs elsewhere here of the new space 1918 - 1920 show the resemblance.

Description
An account of the resource
The prominence of this image on scrapbook pages in Bennett's papers, retained by him in 1953, along with Burnham seen writing in the setting in the 1800 Railway Exchange Building studio, suggested that this was an image of Burnham working on the <span style="text-decoration: none;">1909 </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Plan of Chicago</span></span>draft text. The image when magnified does show the pattern of the writing on the page he had just completed: a page number at the top, five lines down a word crossed out with a new one above, and in the next line something darker at the left side. But this may well have been subsequently changed further, so that trying to match it up with the pages of Burnham's Plan text or of speeches on the Plan that he drafted probably can't ascertain this page's relationship to any surviving document. That his work was Plan related seems reasonable, since he is working in the studio dedicated to that purpose. But further specificity depends on assumptions about Bennett's sense of history, etc. in taking this candid photo.
<div><br />The stove pipe and work table shows contrast with the level of finish seen elsewhere in photos of Bennett's own office a few floors below in the Railway Exchange Building, Michigan Avenue. </div>

Description
An account of the resource
A bird's-eye view watercolor sketch of Chicago and environs by Edward H. Bennett.
This is one of two such sketches found on a few pages of a scrapbook, retained by Bennett in 1953 when he donated much of his material to the Art Institute. Also located nearby in this removed section of a scrapbook is the image of Burnham writing at the work table in the Plan studio (perhaps but otherwise unprovable that DHB was caught in the act of drafting the text of the Plan). The organizing principle of these retained images seems to be personal mementoes of creating the Plan.
Thus, it appears to be one of two sketches perhaps shown to project artist Jules Guerin as guidance to him for his rendering of a bird's-eye view of Chicago's reach up the lake, etc. to appear as the frontispiece (opposite the title-page) for the 1909 Plan.

Description
An account of the resource
This image is a carte de visite (visiting card) sized small albumen print photograph, taken in Paris while future Chicago architect Peirce Anderson was studying there, in the 1890s. William Peirce Anderson, 1870-1924, was known as Peirce or as Andy to his colleague peers. <br /><br />After his Harvard bachelor's degree, he completed two years of engineering coursework. At this time, he was encouraged by Daniel Burnham to continue his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Anderson began in 1894 at the Atélier Paulin, soon passed the series of entrance exams to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and in two years, ca. 1897-99, won four prizes in the great art and architecture school. Anderson completed his degree in 1899, having become aquainted with many peers, including fellow diplôme receiver Edward H. Bennett and also French-born Ferdinand Janin. Both also worked with Anderson on the 1909 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Plan of Chicago</span>. <br /><br />Anderson's work in Burnham's firm included city planning in Washington, D.C. from 1901 to 1910 (train station, etc.), when Bennett took the planning practice out of the Burnham firm. Yet Sally Chappell cites Graham (...Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, 1912-1936, U. of Chicago Press, 1992, p. 275) giving Anderson credit for later also selecting the sites for Plan related buildings such as the Wrigley Building (1919-24) and the Chicago Union Station (1913-25), along the Chicago River. Bennett's 1913-15 photo of the future site of Union Station appears to reflect collaboration here between the two, even if informal. <br /><br />As Bennett's photos indicate, he knew Anderson well, as a student and then as a colleague after the older Ecole graduate led Burnham to engage this Englishman from the West. Chappell reports that "Anderson looked back on his years in Europe with his studies and his close friends as a golden period" (p. 274).
Photographer is Chamberlin, a Paris photographer or photographic studio.

Sketch of an apartment in New York (not built)
Description
An account of the resource
Daniel H. Burnham informal sketches for an Fifth Avenue apartment (presumably not built), New York. A large residence in the style of a Parisian "hotel" or aristocratic residence.
This leaf of letterhead stationery with pencil sketches of plans and elevations on two sides is labeled by/attributed by Bennett as being in Burnham's hand, from 1907. The job list in Charles Moore's 1921 biography of Burnham does not have any projects in New York around this time, on Fifth Avenue, etc., suggesting that this is an unrecorded Burnham design. Further research or information is required before other conclusions can be drawn.

My Dear Mr. Bennett,
I hope your outing has done you good and that you have come back prepared for the strenuous finish. I had a few hours with the committee two weeks ago today. They had got from Mr. Donnelly rough proofs which they corrected typographically and in all other ways. Their work was quite impartial. They found fault with a quotation from Mr. W. D. Howells [William Dean Howells], who is regarded as the master writer in American today, just as they fell on Mr. Burnham and me. The Drainage Canal was a stench in their nostrils and they would have none of it in the reports. Some of their suggestions were excellent.
We had some arguments about the desirability of treating? everything from a commercial stand? point; and when it was suggested that if they proposed to eliminate it altogether the idea of beauty, they should destroy the better portion of the pictures they saw the point.
At the suggestion or request of Mr. Norton I got the Century to take an article for the June number. The editor suggests Mr. Hamlin Garland as the writer. I don't know how that will strike the committee, for I believe he is a prophet without honor at home.
Now to report progress: I have sent back all of the proofs of the chapters one to five inclusive, except Transportation, which is in the hands of the committee for revision. Also I have sent proofs of the 1st half of Chapter VI- "Streets within the City." I have sent copy for everything except the last chapter and the final summing up of Chapter VII -- The Heart of Chicago.
Now where is Mr. Burnham? When will he reach Chicago?
The proofs should have your very careful revision so far as streets? ele? go as well as for everything else; and any suggestions you make looking to a closer tying the text to the illustrations will make for harmony and effectiveness. Of course Mr. Burnham will wish to go over the whole matter before it goes to press finally. I am much at sea about many things especially in the Heart of Chicago Chapter. That will need very careful revision to make it express clearly Mr. Burnham's and your views.
With very best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Moore

UNIVERSITY CLUB.
DETROIT.
Jan 24, 1909
Dear Mr Bennett, I am mailing to Mr. Donnelley the correction proofs of Chapter I, IV and VI. These are the last proofs, save that there may be additions to VI: I have written repeatedly for a full set of proofs but cannot get these -- so far.
Also I have written to Mr. Gilder [Richard Watson Gilder, editor of Century Magazine; died November 1909] about a Century article, as Mr. Norton wished. I had a letter from Mr. [Charles H.] Thorne which made me very hot. When I cool down I’ll answer it. It is quite evident that both he and Mr. Burnham cannot prepare the plans and expectations. However I shall remember that “a cool answer turneth away wrath but, grievous words stir up anger,†and for Mr. Burnham’s sake will not get into a row.
I’m sorry not to be in Chicago wiser (?) now but, I cannot and, moreover, it seems to me that to get out such a book by committee can only result in disaster.
Tomorrow I am beginning once more on chapter VIII and will let you know progress. I do want those proofs. Sorry you were under the weather but, judge you are all the right again now.
Sincerely,
Charles Moore

Description
An account of the resource
At the outset of the year in which the Plan is to be presented, Moore is in Detroit and writing to Bennett, who has been ill. Moore reports a letter from one of the committee members, Charles H. Thorne (Thornes were Montgomery Ward relations and partners; later Ward would oppose Burnham's proposed buildings in Grant Park, on the lake front); the letter's wehereabouts is not known. Though dismayed, Moore says that for Burnham's sake he will take a diplomatic tone in his reply. But if the Plan is the work of a committee it will be a disaster.
Of course, Bennett later had to recast the entire concept of Grant Park after Ward brought suit to prevent the construction of the three great museums in the park. So this letter from Moore at the outset of the momentous year 1909 appears to give an inkling of the task before Bennett in the 1910s: to recast the idea of Grant Park as a classic garden space to be seen from the wall of buildings on the east side of Michigan Avenue.
Since the letter contained frank opinions shared among colleagues and made an unflattering reference to a member of a prominent Chicago (and Lake Forest) family, etc., very likely Bennett in 1953 when he transferred material to the AIC library and archives would have found this item still too sensitive to release just a little over four decades after the Plan's publication.
