Chicago Tribune

Tribune Tower rises like a modern cathedral among the buildings of Chicago's skylines. Elaborate carvings - hand-crafted by some of America's premiere sculptors - decorate the alabaster-white walls. A ring of delicately designed buttresses crowns this marvel of engineering and design. The neo-Gothic sculptural ornamentation includes characters like Robin Hood as well as classic beasts such as gargoyles and hounds.

At night, the buttresses are lit spectacularly from beneath. Luminance and shadow plays across the faces of the sculpture, lending them an uncanny animation.
