Information on sources for article
This information was compiled by InterContinental Chicago concierge Douglas Campbell in 2005, from various historical articles collected in the hotel's archives, from photographs and souviniers donated from personal collections, and from descriptions and photographs taken from the 1930 Shriner's yearbook, "The Scimitar".

names of the reliefs on the north and west walls are backwards
According to an article in the Chicago Tribune from Sept 16, 1928 entitled “Building art inspires panels”: "The south panel starts the story. Here a magnificent cortege is displayed.  This panel, termed Contribution, signifies the getting together of treasures for the construction of the building.  In the west panel, facing Michigan Avenue, a ruler is shown with his counselors and an architect is shown bringing in a model of the building planned.  The north panel shows the consecration of the building after it has been built.  A priest is sacrificing a white bull whose blood will be mixed with crushed grapes and poured into the earth."

So where you say: "Each frieze depicted a different scene, with Wisdom represented on the north wall, Consecration on the west, and Contribution on the south."

It really should read: "Each frieze depicted a different scene, with Wisdom represented on the west wall, Consecration on the north, and Contribution on the south."

Make sense?
