The International Competition for a New Administration Building for the Chicago Tribune 

First edition of this noteworthy volume of architectural history, featuring 281 designs that were submitted for the $100,000 competition commemorating the Chicago Tribune's seventy fifth anniversary on June 10, 1922. A fascinating collection of 260 designs for the tower including contributions by Walter Gropius, & Adolf Meyer, Adolf Loos and Bruno Taut, mostly along the lines of a skyscraper but some rather eccentric. The competition was won by John Mead Howells and Raymond M.Hood of New York, with second prize going to Eliel Saarinen of Finland. 

Chicago, IL: The Tribune Company, 1923. Original brown burlap over cloth-backed boards, gilt-stamped label to front board; pp. 103 + 281 plates. Frontispiece of the winning design. Introduction by Louis Sullivan. An about very good copy. Binding remains firm, joints shows some wear with the webbing exposed, a few lights stains to front board. Internally clean.
