Tribune Tower, Gothic Revival skyscraper in North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, US
The 36-floor tower reaches 141 meters in height, featuring vertical limestone piers, horizontal spandrels, and ornate buttresses around its peak.
The Chicago Tribune organized a competition in 1922 to design their headquarters, attracting 260 submissions from 23 countries seeking a $50,000 prize.
The building exhibits inscriptions from Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and other figures celebrating press freedom in the entrance hall.
The Tribune Tower transformed from newspaper offices to residential units in 2018 through a renovation project exceeding 500 million dollars.
The facade contains fragments from global landmarks including the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, and Westminster Abbey embedded in its lower levels.
