Description
| Description | Built in 1923-1925, this Gothic Revival-style skyscraper was designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood for the Chicago Tribune, with this being the winning design of a competition held in 1922, which included submissions from multiple notable architects and a variety of architectural design philosophies. The building’s top portion was inspired by the Tour de beurre, or Butter Tower, at the Rouen Cathedral in France, with the rest of the building being an example of Gothic Revival motifs and trim work, along with an overall American Perpendicular Style arrangement and character of elements on the facade. The building stands 496 feet (151 meters) tall and has 36 floors, and originally housed the offices of the Chicago Tribune, with a rear annex building standing six stories tall, and featuring a more streamlined exterior appearance. The building features stones from various historical sites from around the planet at the base, many of which are labeled, which were provided by Chicago Tribune correspondents at the request of Robert R. McCormick. The building is clad in Indiana limestone with strong vertical emphasis on the exterior made up of multiple pilasters, with the larger pilasters continuing beyond the roofline of the main portion of the building to form buttresses at the corner of the octagonal tower atop the roof. The base is relatively unadorned, with a recessed arched doorway along Michigan Avenue featuring carved reliefs above the doors, decorative tracery, railings, and carved spandrel reliefs above and below the fourth floor windows, with the facade between the fifth floor and the twenty-fifth floor being relatively unadorned with contrasting spandrel panels between the windows on each floor. The building also features a twenty-story rear wing with similar detailing, which features multiple pinnacles, decorative tracery, and a parapet with decorative trim. The twenty-fifth floor features a wrap-around promenade around the upper portion of the tower, with eight flying buttresses at the corners of the octagonal upper tower soaring above, a parapet with tracery, pinnacles, and decorative trim, and tracery on the buttresses. The upper portion of the building above the thirtieth floor is set back further, with another set of pinnacles, tracery, and decorative trim crowing the top. In 1935, an Art Deco-style eight-story addition with Gothic Revival trim was added to the north side of the tower to house the WGN Studios. The building is a contributing structure in the Michigan–Wacker Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The building was designated as a Chicago Landmark in 1989, and was renovated between 2018 and 2023, adaptively reusing the historic office tower as a residential condominium. Today, the building houses 162 residential units, and has had its historic common areas restored, with the rest of the building renovated in a way that is sensitive to the historic character of the building and recognizes its significance. |
