Logan Square Auditorium

With its terra cotta eagle facing the Illinois Centennial Monument across the square, and a cluster of great restaurants and shops below, the Logan Square Auditorium is a community anchor and premier venue for live music. Versatility was the original intent; it’s a throwback multi-use ballroom equally suited to rock shows and weddings. Steep and narrow stairs lead up to the cavernous and elegant ballroom, which is seemingly unchanged from a century ago—but for the sound system, the bar and the bookings.

J.G. Steinbach, 1915
