Artistic, but still distinctly Chicago, Orchestra Hall takes a standard square early 20th century building, and adds touches that distinguish it as a slightly classier establishment. Crowns over the windows imply a regal quality, while pediments evoke a more classical structure. There are also stone swags, balconies, quoins, and a kind of decorative fringe reminiscent of a Swiss alpine house. While delightful, the execution is a little cluttered, and the result is a building evocative of an orchestra warming up, rather than a symphonic melody. Still, the building is an imaginative interpretation of the Georgian style. The more patient observer will note the names Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Wagner inscribed above the arched windows and balconies of the second-floor ballroom.
