The Krause Music Store is a 1922 structure designed Louis Sullivan and is a National Historic Landmark Building.

[2][3] With its curvilinear plant-like forms and intricate framing of the picture window, the façade of this building is an outgrowth of Sullivan's belief in organic architecture.

[4] It was commissioned in 1921 by William P. Krause to serve the dual purpose of a residence and a music shop, at a total cost of $22,000.

Showcasing his expertise with terra cotta, Sullivan designed the ornamentation of the entire façade with geometric and curvilinear forms of nature.

The store opened to sell pianos and sheet music and was a pioneering retailer for the introduction of the radio.
