newspaper Chicago Tribune came to be millions of daily readers in the twenties, so I think a contest to lift "the most beautiful office building in the world." Competition took part more than 260 architects from 35 countries. These architects some as Walter Gropius, Adolf Loos or Saarinen. The project was finally chosen to Hodd and Howells. This project was the Gothic style, which was related to the natural evolution of the Chicago school, which is of great weight to the jury. Hood design Howelsen beat and clean lines proposed by European architects of the Bahuaus. The building was completed in 1925, the building was designed taking into account the tower of the Cathedral of Rouen in France, which makes this building one of the jewels in the revival of Chicago architecture. The sculptures were done by Rene Paul Chambellan. The Adolf Loos draft despite not being elected has passed into architectural history.
