One of Chicago�s famous buildings is the Auditorium Building. � Designed by the famous architects/engineer: Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan with a staff that included the young Frank Lloyd Wright. � The building was originally designed as a luxurious hotel and opera house/theatre. � Louis Sullivan designed its decoration and is considered to be one of the creators of Art Nouveau. � Dankmar Adler is considered to be one of the great engineers of the 19th century. He also designed the theater�s acoustics; so perfect that every word on its stage could be easily heard in the top gallery six stories up and a half block away. � Frank Lloyd Wright called the theatre �the greatest room for music and opera in the world.� Enrico Caruso sang there; Richard Strauss, Sergei Prokofiev, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov all conducted there. � It was the first new building in the world to be electrically lit and the first to be air conditioned via forced air directed over water and blocks of ice. In 1887, President Grover Cleveland laid the cornerstone and in 1889, President Benjamin Harrison dedicated the Auditorium. also the autorium theatere bulding was going to be torn down at one point, but it is built so strongly that it would cost more to tear it down then to buldi the bulding that was going to be built there.
