Article currently states that building materials include terra cotta. I do not believe there is any terra cotta on the Opera House. If the author so believes, please tell me where you think it is, and I will check it out (I go by it regularly). Leo Schlosberg (talk) 19:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since whomever wrote this failed to provide any external sources it is hard to tell where it came from, or if it is true. I am including the links below to use for sources, if I have time I will get to it myself. However, it does appear there is indeed terra cotta within or on the building, according to the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. Otherwise, just reading over the National Register of Historic Places nomination form, it seems there are several errors in this text.
I have tagged this page with {{Disputed}} as a caution to readers until we get it fixed up. The article may indeed require a complete rewrite, there are also peacock terms scattered throughout the article, I have tried removing some POV but this was written in a public relations tone.

It's pretty easy to see the terra cotta. It's all the terra cotta-colored decorative work all over the building. 21:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.152.214 (talk)
