Шаблон:Short description Edward Carson Waller (November 21, 1845 – January 13, 1931) was a Chicago developer and patron of Frank Lloyd Wright who pioneered development of subsidized low-income housing and some of the first skyscrapers in Chicago.

Early life

Waller was born November 21, 1845, in Maysville, Kentucky[1] to parents Henry and Sara Waller. Around 1860,[2] the family moved the outskirts of Chicago, on a family estate now known as Buena Park. At age 24, Waller became close friends with future White City architect Daniel Burnham as they traveled to Nevada in 1869 to prospect for gold.[3] While they did not get rich, the close friendship continued upon their return to Chicago.

Associated developments

Waller co-founded the Central Safety Deposit Company and used his influence around the city to develop many famous Chicago buildings.
