Originally built just after the Wrigley building, almost directlyacross the avenue, it was finished in 1925.Famous for its gargoyles, but also for the pieces of other historical buildings incorporated in the exterior walls.It is now being converted from offices to a residential condominium.

On site during construction of the new space. Saw some hints of the end result and it looks to be awesome. Totally different as they have stripped out everything for the transition to new space. Should be amazing and excited to see the end result!!

Take a close look when passing by this 1925 neo-Gothic edifice. Colonel Robert McCormick, eccentric owner of the Chicago Tribune in the early 1900s, collected – and asked his reporters to send – rocks from famous buildings and monuments around the world. He stockpiled pieces of the Taj Mahal, Westminster Abbey, the Great Pyramid and more than 140 others, which are now embedded around the tower’s base.

A new Rejuvenated place, luxury appliance and spacious apartments, pricy condos but you get what you paid for $M and up .

Lot smaller than I thought it would be, but still amazing and fun to take pictures in. Think of cool ideas to take pictures there!

An eye appealing building. ..wish I had time to visit outside of the weekend

Dont miss visiting this building on your Chicago architecture tour. Not only is the building a neo-gothic masterpiece, but the collection of fragments from famous buildings around the world is really fun to survey.

Currently The Tribune Tower is being renovated. I am proud to say that this is one of the coolest historical buildings i have worked on throughout my years as a union carpenter. Unfortunately i was asked not to post pictures of the sight for particular reasons during renovation, and i respect that. When its all said and done i will post the NEWLY constructed tower. Stay tuned my friends.

This place brings back memories!

Amazing art deco architecture

Great architecture . You can hear details behind if you take the river cruise . Come to think of it recommend river cruise a must do, if you are visiting Chicago

The Skydeck is really Cool!

Its one of the best experience that Chicago offer to tourists...

The second best meal we ever had. The service was top notch. Worth every penny that you spend. If weather is good grab a table out but the river and enjoy.

Beautiful old tower now being renovated as it no longer belongs to the Tribune. I was really impressed with their collection of rocks when I was in Chicago about 6 years ago. Made a point of visiting with my son on a hot day in July 2019 and they have covered fences up all around the tower. Couldnt tell for sure, but it looked like the rocks were gone.

Beautiful building. Its fun to inspect all the stones from famous places around the world

Unbelievable detail in this building! Its amazing to me how people can build something so beautiful and grand.

Photo ca. 1924

An impressive building with a beautiful achitecture in downtown Chicago. You cant miss it.

Make sure you walk around to notice all beautiful stones from different countries and states.Neo-gothic building is something fresh!

Tribune Tower is an emblematic and historic building located in the beginning of Magnificent Mile of Chicago.The building is of neo-Gothic style and was the home of the Chicago Tribune, Tribune Media, and Tribune Publishing, also of WGN Radio (720 kHz) and CNNs Chicago bureau.Its lobby is amazing and have an espectacular ornamentation.

The Tribune Tower is among my favorite Gothic styled towers in downtown Chicago. All of the stone detail at the top is really quite beautiful.

Being remodeled as condos

Iconic architecture. Beautifully decorated with fresh pine during the holiday season.

This building and nearby buildings are phenomenal. Its like going back in time when detail and passionate architecture was being built.

Architecture is amazing!

Beautiful Building its being semi demolished and will be new condos in the next few years

Super cool building piece of Chicago history.

Its cool looking.

The Tribune Tower is a neo-Gothic skyscraper built from 1923 to 1925.

Great building. Unfortunately it was under renovation but, dont miss the lobby and the different stones and sculptures in the front walls. You would be surprised about the details you can find!!

Beautiful, historic building right on Michigan Avenue on the Magnificent Mile. Check out the 150 historic rocks set into the walls. See the WGN Radio 720 studio in the first floor windows.

I went to see Judge Mathis..... It was awesome

The place is a historic landmark in the history of Chicago. I attended a rooftop wedding when I was there and it was absolutely stunning in terms of the views. The building is old so the amenities lacked the times that we live in. No air conditioning on the top floors made it almost unbearable with the summer heat and the 3 piece suit I was wearing. Overall, a good experience. I believe they are turning the tower into condos so I was glad to visit prior to the renovation starting.

Great. Wish it was retained for what it was built.... I understand its being remodeled to house apartments. 7.3 billion & going strong..... got to house them all.

Under renovation (as of sept. 2019)

Miscellaneous office space leased from the remarkably ornate tower -but now I believe transitioning into residential units. Cool concept. Reliable meeting point for tourists and pedestrians which stops travel for quarter mile around DuSable Bridge. The view here is remarkable. Nobodys fault for appreciating.

Historic building with magnificent architectural and design detail.

Part of the reason i was excited to go to chicago was that i had researched many old greco roman style buildings were not roman at all but from a tartarian empire that spanned whole earth. This was one of them! Turns out there were buildings like these already here before we discovered america and even the indians didnt know who made them. Crazy but look at it carefully tho...

Excellent For travelers experience!

One of the most beautiful buildings in Chicago. Under renovation right now.

Great place and awesome building

The most beautiful building in Chicago.

Very nice older building. Cool structure

She getting a little facelift

I delivered windows to the job site for the remodeling process.

Absolutely gorgeous! The tour took explained the detail that went into this building and the alcoldates it has received

Cool to look at no clue whats inside

Unless you work here or know someone who does (which wont be forever because theyre turning the place into condos), you can only enter the lobby. But its really nice and has ornate stonework with words etched in as well. The outside is interesting: stones from all over the world are embedded into the exterior walls. Go to the back near the dock and parking lot and youll see the cornerstone circa 1920.

This building is very historic. Sadly, you can only walk into the lobby without a reason. However, you can learn a lot about the building just from the outside. This is one of the most historic architecture buildings in the city, yet most people walk right past it each day not even thinking about it.

Great place to work in.

It was okay

Gothic, gorgeous one of a kind building!

It’s worth checking out just to see the random bricks from other historical sites that have been added to the structure. Easily one of the best buildings in Chicago

Tribune Tower is good for Chicago its a great tourist attraction with great history.

Great architecture of this historical building captivates every passer by.There are rocks/stones from different sites of various countries across the globe on the building..Most renowned ones are from Taj Mahal, Great Wall of China, Great Pyramid etc.

Beautiful iconic architecture. The history and collection displayed on the outer walls of the building is an awesome collection of pieces from all over the world. The lobby is exquisite and the garden/park areas nearby are gorgeous. Worth a visit if youre in Chicago!

There are pieces of historic structures all around the base of this building. Its fascinating and the architecture its beautiful as well

Near Tribune maybe if you will be so nice to help WGN up with the sport the finals scores maybe they can get WGN back on here you dont believe me it comes on labor day with the labor day Marathon the telly

All I can see is it is an architectural beauty

Cant wait until renovations are done at this beautiful historic building!

Cool design and an amazing relief map in the lobby that everyone should stop and see. It is made entirely out of $1 bills and is super interesting.

Beautiful architecture. Take a moment and go into the lobby and read all of the quotes on the wall. Journalists will especially love it.

Lovely architecture and stunning views from the tower. Home of the Chicago Tribune, recently purchased by developers who will convert it into apartments, hotel and offices. This iconic neogotihic building is part of Chicagos history. I highly recommend you visit this building.

Nothing to see coz rebuilding

Love this building, its history, architecture and so on. Always enjoyable just to be around it browse the gift shop inside.

From a purely visual standpoint (without regard to the mugshot issue that Concerned mentions below), this is an amazing building. Its amazing architecture, that has been in the city since 1922 (thought it took a while to complete). Its fun to look at and imagine yourself as Batman, sitting up on top watching over the city. Everybody does that... right?

As Kid in the 1940s and Adult In the 1960s .I huddled between the Tribune and Sun Times as Kid hauler on local Paper Delivery Trucks. Very Fond memories . And God Bless the ALL PRINTERS.For Staying here and not GOING OUT OF CHICAGO.Also remember that Sun/ Time trucks where RED. The Tribune where Green. And the Chicago Daily News where Blue in COLORS.HOWEVER the out of town Where White in color meaning Suburban and Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio.As a helper you could get and extra couple of cents per two bundles. And if your where Lackey enough to be on the Railroad and Airport terminals you could get even more per bundle.

Such a beautiful building. Sad that its now condominiums. And no longer the grand Chicago Tribune. Which is also no longer so grand. Sigh.

This is a beautiful Chicago landmark that must be seen if youre visiting the Windy City. Dont forget to hit the gift shop for what has to be the cheapest place for Licensed Sportswear in the City.

We liked walking around this building and looking at all the pieces from other buildings. While we were the only couple doing this, it was so interesting we would recommend it! Make sure to go around the corner and look all the way to the bridge. The architecture is breathtaking.

Didnt go inside. Pretty touristy.

Chicago Tribune Tower is an iconic historical building. The building has hundreds of unique artifacts embedded in the outside walls. Tourists from around the world can find a piece of their homeland at the Tribune Tower from the Great Wall of China to Abraham Lincolns home. I enjoyed viewing the building through the eyes of a tourist. I went crazy trying to photograph as many artifacts that I possibly could.

Had a job orientation there. Security is on point. Great looking building but its not open to the regular public.

Attended WGN Walk of Fame ceremony. Sad that WGN is moving from this historic building. Sad this building will be condos. One of the most beautiful historic buildings in Chicago!

Great attraction. Piece of architectural marvel

Take the time to stop and admire the architecture and craftsmanship of the Tribune Tower, 435 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611. If youre a tourist reading this asking yourself do I stop here. Then YES you stop here and admire the building well worth your time!

Great history

Beautiful scenery from Chicago!!

Probably the most beautiful building in Chicago!

The Tribune Tower is a neo-Gothic skyscraper located at 435 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It was the home of the Chicago Tribune, Tribune Media, and tronc, Inc., formerly known as Tribune Publishing. WGN Radio (720 kHz) broadcasts from the building, while the ground level houses the large restaurant Howells & Hood (named for the buildings architects), whose patio overlooks nearby Pioneer Court and Michigan Avenue. CNNs Chicago bureau was also located in the building. It is listed as a Chicago Landmark and is a contributing property to the Michigan–Wacker Historic District. The original Tribune Tower was built in 1868, but was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. Cool building

Beautiful and elegant Neo Gothic style architecture. Dont miss and admire the many stone works from all over the world thats embedded in the exterior walls of the building.

Beautiful center. The architecture gives Chicago a good name

Awesome! Will definitely return but for a longer stay

You will feel the classic beauty of this elegant historic architecture. Do not miss the oppertunity to visit.

Great architecture!

So cute, it was fun walking around and spotting the different landmark stones from some pretty cool places all around the globe (great pyramid of giza Egypt, Hans Christian Andersons house, Edinburgh castle).Just such a shame about the restaurant that blocks a massive section of it with its outdoor patio.

Beautiful building. Loved the pieces of rock from several known places

Super neat place

Found it easy. Great parking.

Amazing building. Loved walking around and seeing pieces of history from all over the world. Must see if you are living in or just visiting Chi.

Be sure to stop inside and look up

Its a great example of neo-gothic architecture.

One of my favorite buildings. Look around the building to see pieces of other monuments around the world collected in one place.

An architectural masterpiece. Be sure to check out all the small inlays.

A beautiful historical place

Absolutely the coolest building in Chicago (in my humble opinion). A must see if walking the Mag Mile

Great historic place. Worth a visit.
