Occupation Architect

Dankmar Adler (born July 3, 1844 in Germany; died April 16, 1900 in Chicago, Illinois, USA) was a German American architect of Jewish belief.[1] Adler was a civil engineer who, with his partner Louis Sullivan, designed many buildings including the Guaranty Building in Buffalo, New York[2], the Chicago Stock Exchange Building (1894-1972) and the Auditorium Building (1889), an early example of acoustical engineering. [3] Although Alder was aclaimed as an expert in acoustics, he was ultimately unable to explain the excellent acoustic properties of his buildings. [4] The firm of Adler and Sullivan was instrumental in rebuilding Chicago after the Great Fire and was the leader in the Chicago school of architecture. In addition to his own accomplishments with steel-framed buildings and skyscrapers, he trained Frank Lloyd Wright.
