Driehaus supports a number of other architecture-related initiatives. Recently, he funded efforts to block the Frank Gehry-designed Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington. In Chicago, he painstakingly restored an 1879 mansion designed by Edward Burling on East Erie Street, which is now open to the public as the Driehaus Museum. His firm, Driehaus Capital Management, which has over $7 billion in assets, is headquartered down the street in another Gilded Age gem, a peach-colored 1886 Richardsonian mansion designed by Henry Ives Cobb.
