Steinway Hall (Chicago)

Steinway Hall (1896 – 1970) was an 11-story office building, and ground-floor theater (later cinema), located at 64 East Van Buren Street in Chicago, Illinois.

In the early 1900s, the building held the offices and nucleus of a group of famous Chicago architects that included a young Frank Lloyd Wright.

[1] Beginning in the winter of 1896-97, the building's 11th floor housed the offices of a group of important architects that included Dwight H. Perkins, Robert C. Spencer, Frank Lloyd Wright and Myron Hunt.

[7] One hundred and twenty-five names appeared on the faculty roster for that year, and the School opened three dormitory floors for students.

This 44-story slab, designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, is prominent in Chicago's skyline not only because of its 600-foot height close to Michigan Avenue, but even more so because of its redness.

[1] It should not be confused with a different Central Music Hall, designed by Dankmar Adler, that stood at the southeast corner of State and Randolph streets and was demolished in 1900.
