Ann Arbor, Michigan
Designed by Albert Kahn in 1913 and recently renovated for $33 million, Hill Auditorium was designed to be a monument to perfect acoustics, the result of a collaboration with the pre-eminent acoustical engineer of the time, Hugh Tallant.  The organ beating at the heart of the auditorium was manufactured by the Farrand & Votey Company of Detroit for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
