Daniel Burnham Jr.

Daniel Hudson Burnham Jr. (1886–1961), was an architect and urban planner based in Chicago and one of the sons of the renowned architect and urban planner Daniel H. Burnham. Burnham Jr. was director of public works for the Century of Progress 1933-34 World's Fair in Chicago, the same role his father held for the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.

Burnham trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and worked in his father's firm, D.H. Burnham & Co., until after Burnham's death. In 1917 he and his brother, Hubert Burnham, left D.H. Burnham & Co. to found their own firm, Burnham Brothers. The old firm, which had been the world's largest architecture firm under Daniel Burnham, was taken over by Ernest Graham and operated for approximately 90 years as Graham, Anderson, Probst, and White.
