On June 10, 1922, the Chicago Tribune hosted an international design competition for its new headquarters, and offered $100, 000 in prize money with a $50, 000 1st prize for "the most beautiful and distinctive office building in the world". The competition worked brilliantly for months as a publicity stunt, and the resulting entries still reveal a unique turning point in American architectural history. More than 260 entries were received. The winner was a neo-Gothic design by New York architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, with buttresses near the top.
