	The Chicago Auditorium Building: Adler and Sullivan's Architecture and the City Art Bulletin, The - Find Articles
		It is a building of much complexity: a romanesque leviathan of granite and lime-stone occupying half a city block, into which is tucked a hotel, an office building, and an opera house with more than 4,200 seats (the largest in the world at the time of its construction).

		The Chicago Auditorium Building, Siry's authoritative and well-illustrated study of this monument of the Chicago school, accomplishes precisely what a monograph should: it does full justice to the building in its specific historical and local context even as it illuminates those particular aspects that lift it above its age.

	Sullivanesque: Urban Architecture and Ornamentation/The Chicago Auditorium Building: Adler and Sullivan's Architecture ...
		A secondary claim, which Schmitt suggests in the fairly standard introductory chapters on Sullivan's life and works and summarizes at the end of the book, is that "the Sullivanesque paralleled the fortunes of Louis Sullivan," in that it shifted from an initial, "optimistic" phase to a phase of "decline" and eventual obscurity.
		Given the "vernacular" nature of Schmitt's objects of inquiry (most of the Sullivanesque buildings Schmitt illustrates are modest commercial buildings from the upper Midwest), his traditional "Great Architecture" approach to his subject-that is, his emphasis on biography and stylistic development-comes as something of a surprise.
		Siry ultimately sees the Auditorium Building as a symbol of the triumph of capital over labor, arguing that it is the fruit of a deliberate ploy by elite patron Ferdinand Peck (1848-1924) to create a civic institution that would both placate and reeducate Chicago's working classes into greater docility.
