Now closed, the famous Joliet Prison — the location for the television series “Prison Break” — is located near the city’s downtown area. Also located in downtown Joliet is the historic Auditorium Building. Designed by G. Julian Barnes and built of limestone in 1891, it was controversial as one of the first buildings to combine religious, civic, and commercial uses. Built to replace St. John's Universalist Church, the upstairs sanctuary doubled as a civic auditorium; and the congregation leased space to businesses on the lower level. Having since sold the Auditorium Building, the congregation today survives as the Universalist Unitarian Church of Joliet, however, the sanctuary of Auditorium Building has been converted into upscale condominiums.
