Steinway Hall was an 11-story Chicago office tower designed by Dwight H. Perkins and completed in 1896 at 64 East Van Buren Street. Its ground floor housed a theater that opened as the Steinway Music Hall and later operated as a cinema under various names, including the Capri Cinema when it closed in the late 1960s. The building became historically significant as an early nexus for Chicago's Prairie School architects in the early 1900s, housing the offices of a group including a young Frank Lloyd Wright; these designers, influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement and Louis Sullivan's philosophies, would shape modernist architecture for decades to come. The structure was demolished in 1970.
