Adler & Sullivan added St. Louis' 1890 Wainwright Building (eighth) and Chicago's 1889 Auditorium (13th). Ludwig Mies van der Rohe won tenth place with Manhattan's House of Seagram (TIME, March 3) and 24th with his Lake Shore Drive apartments in Chicago. Famed 19th century Architect Henry Hobson Richardson also rated two buildings: Boston's 1877 Trinity Church (14th) and Chicago's since...
