The Auditorium Hotel is one of the best appointed in the world. The splendid stage of the Auditorium is modeled after that in the opera houses of Buda-Pesth."

The first stone was turned upon the ground on the 12th of June, 1881. Ninety days later--on the 12th of September--the new theater, completed at every point, was thrown open to the public. If the world can offer another case in which a permanent edifice of equal size, beauty and solidity was so well and so rapidly put together, this writer has yet to learn of it."
