Roosevelt University

Auditorium Building - Sullivan Room

430 S. Michigan Avenue, 2nd floor
Chicago, IL  60605

The Sullivan Room at Roosevelt University is located on the 2nd floor overlooking Michigan Avenue. Today, the building is a National Historic Landmark, and the achievement of famed architects Dankmar Adler, Louis Sullivan and young Frank Lloyd Wright as a draftsman. On October 5, 1887, President Grover Cleveland laid the cornerstone for the Auditorium Building. The 1888 Republican National Convention was held at the partially finished building, where Benjamin Harrison was nominated as a presidential candidate. It officially opened in 1889 and was immediately acclaimed as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.

The Sullivan Room was once used as a "ladies lounge" and one of two spaces in the Auditorium Building hat has been meticulously restored.
