Chicago - Tribune Tower

Built between 1922 and 1925, Tribune Tower was the home of the Pulitzer Prize winning Chicago Tribune. The tower was designed by architects Raymond M. Hood and John Mead Howells, who won an international design competition held by the paper. It is based on the Gothic, French cathedral of Rouen, and features flying buttresses and numerous gargoyles. The walls of the Tower's base sport rocks from famous buildings and monuments around the world, like the Great Wall of China, Westminster Abbey, the Parthenon and Taj Mahal. They were collected over the years by the Tribune correspondents.
