Adler was a civil engineer who, with his partner Louis Sullivan, designed many buildings including the Chicago Stock Exchange Building (1894-1972) and the Auditorium Building (1889). 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.
