A Chicago historical landmark that survived the Great Chicago Fire and at one brief point in history served as a temporary City Hall. A structure with an auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,500 and a place where many concerts and operettas were performed at a time when there were no other suitable venues. A church edifice housing one of the largest church pipe organs in the world. The 4-manual Kimball put out enough sound to make the wrap-around balcony shake during musical extravaganzas. A unique experience for the architectural student.
