In Chicago, one of the most stunningly beautiful buildings is the Tribune Tower. Located at 435 North Michigan Avenue Chicago IL, this incredible neo Gothic building was started by Colonel Robert Rutherford McCormick of the Chicago Tribune.
In 1922 on their 75th year, the Chicago Tribune organized an international competition for the best design for their new headquarters in Chicago. The newspaper declared the $50,000 prize for the winning design of the world's most magnificent building. Among the 260 entries, the winners of the competition were two New York based neo Gothic architects, John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood.
Today, this 460 feet high and 36-storied building is the headquarters of the Chicago Tribune and Tribune Company. The broadcasting center of the 720 kHz WGN Radio and the CNN Chicago branch are also located in the Tribune Tower.
This great tower, truly marked as the Chicago Landmark, astonishes the Chicago visitors.
