home Biography
Howard Van Doren Shaw was a native of Chicago, born to Theodore
Shaw, a successful dry goods wholesaler, and Sarah Van Doren, an
artist. He attended private schools before going to Yale; he
graduated from Yale in 1890 and then moved to the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology to study architecture. He returned to
Chicago to work in the offices of William LeBaron Jenney and
William B. Mundie.
In 1892 Shaw traveled through Europe to study architecture
independently, gaining a unique style that merged the Beaux-Arts
and the Arts and Crafts movements. He returned to Jenneys
office after six months and worked for him on a contractual basis
before setting up his own practice.
Shaw worked on more than 200 projects during his long career,
including residential, industrial, commercial, and religious
commissions. He built a wide range of buildings, from country
houses, townhouses, and apartment buildings, to civic spaces,
skyscrapers, and industrial plant complexes, as well as schools and
churches.
In 1907 the AIA made Shaw a Fellow. He was trustee of the Art
Institute of Chicago, the United Charities, and Illinois College,
Jacksonville, Ill. He was also chairman of the State Art
Commission. |
