Lonely Planet review for Auditorium
The earliest buildings of the Chicago School, like the Auditorium used thick-bases to support the towering walls above. William Le Baron Jenney, the architect who constructed the world’s first iron-and-steel-framed building in the 1880s, soon had a studio in Chicago, where he trained a crop of architects who pushed the city skyward through internal frames.
