William K. Shilling got his start in the office of famed Chicago architect Louis Sullivan, where he briefly worked alongside a young Frank Lloyd Wright. After returning to Ohio, Shilling found himself in Springfield supervising a project for Mansfield-architect Vernon Redding. Here Shilling fell in love with a recent Wittenberg graduate, which caused him to relocate and establish his own practice. Join us on this bicycle tour as we explore several buildings from Shilling’s remarkable career, including the Ferncliff Cemetery Administration Building (1931) and the United States Post Office (1934). Meet at the corner of North Fountain Avenue and Warder Street on your bicycle.
