## Caption

Today we honor William Burnet Tuthill, Carnegie Hall’s architect, who was so nervous on Opening Night in 1891 that when he witnessed the crowds filling the Dress Circle and Balcony he dashed home to review his calculations in fear that the levels may collapse. They stood and still stand. #CH125 #carnegiehall #CHhallofFame
