The Chicago Auditorium Building
Adler and Sullivan's Architecture and the City (Chicago Architecture and Urbanism)
by Joseph M. Siry
"In this illustrated book, Joseph M. Siry explores not just the architectural history of the Auditorium Building, but also the crucial role it played in Chicago's social history.
Covering the Auditorium from the early design to its opening, its later renovations, its links to culture and politics in Chicago, and its influence on later Adler and Sullivan works (including the Schiller Building and the Chicago Stock Exchange Building), The Chicago Auditorium Building recounts the tale of a building that helped to define a city and an era."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence
"Rarely in the modern period, either in Europe or in the United States, has a major city's identity been so strongly associated with the creation of a single monumental building as when Chicago's Auditorium opened in December 1889."
