"The Chicago Tribune Tower competition was one of the largest and most controversial design contests of the 1920s. Sponsored by the Chicago Tribune for the design of its new office building, the international competition generated a plethora of proposals revealing widely varied conceptions of the skyscraper. When the jury awarded first prize to a Gothic-style tower, the decision sparked controversy on both sides of the Atlantic."--Jacket.
