Who Built This Musical Marvel?

A very rich and kind man named Andrew Carnegie wanted to build a special place for music. He was a businessman who made lots of money and wanted to share it by creating this hall. He worked with a clever architect named William Burnet Tuthill to design it. They built it a long, long time ago, between 1889 and 1891. That's older than your grandparents' grandparents!
