The extraordinary engineering talent of Dankmar Adler and the architectural genius of Louis Sullivan created this building to reflect the cultural maturity of Chicago.

Combining hotel and office space with a splendid theater, the Auditorium was a turning point in Sullivan's career and a milestone in the development of modern architecture.

Designated a Chicago Landmark on September 15, 1976 by the City Council of Chicago.

Richard J. Daley, Mayor
