The Auditorium Building was recognized in Chicago for joining commercial and artistic purposes in a single structure that united a hotel, office building, and theatre. It was honored for the engineer's inventiveness from the foundations to the building's perfect acoustics, and for the architect's genius in giving it form and, with original ornament, expressing a spirit of festivity in rooms of great splendor.
