Architect and amateur cellist William B. Tuthill was largely responsible for the Renaissance Revival design of Carnegie Hall. However, better-known architects Richard Morris Hunt and Dankmar Adler consulted on the project. The caramel-colored brick and terra-cotta building is known for its excellent acoustics. Carnegie Hall was saved from demolition in 1960 when it was purchased by the city.
