Auditorium
Building
Chicago, Illinois
now Roosevelt University.
Architect by Louis Henry Sullivan & Dankmar Adler in
1885-89. Sullivan adapts Richardson's Marshall Field
Warehouse to a mixed-use
building. It served as both a hotel and office building as well as an opera
house seating about 4000, proclaimed by many to have the best acoustics in the
world. At the time
built it was the tallest building in Chicago. The base is heavily
rusticated, like Renaissance palazzi. The original entrance was under the tower, a structure of 17 stories requiring
heavy reinforcements. With load-bearing masonry walls, the building required the
engineering genius of Adler, who also dealt with the problem of its being below
the water level of nearby Lake Michigan.
