The Auditorium Building is one or two structures on the list of the public’s 150 favorites by renowned American architect Louis Sullivan. (The other is Carson Pirie Scott.) It was this commission that established his international reputation and that of his partner Dankmar Adler. Originally an arts and commercial complex, the granite and limestone building is considered an important precursor to the Modern movement.

what people forget about the AT, is that it was the arch firm of Danker and Stankier. and anyone who thinks it looks better than an old warehouse hasn't seen some of chicago's whorehouses. still, it's the inside that counts. why else would Frank Zappa play nowhere else in chicago? it's the acoustics, stupid, to quote a brilliant former presidaent.
