Characters I don't know:
-Austen Heller
-Louis Cook

Building I don't know:
-Manhattan Bank Building
-Aquitania Hotel
-Enright House
-Stoddard Temple
-Cortlandt

Give this website a shot:

www.enotes.com

It will let you have a couple of free research sessions, and there is info there on [U]The Fountainhead[U]

Eventually you have to pay to use the site, but it should help you out just this once.

yes, I read the book. It took me the entire summer because I feel asleep every time I read it, but yes I finished.

The Fountainhead is one of my favorite books.

I'm not sure what you are asking about. Are you trying to suss out the architectural methodologies in the book or trying to get information on objectivism?
