Currently a landmark version with no jobs, costs $110000.
Also a growable CO$$$, stage 8, 2650 jobs, but it doesn't seem to grow (not in my cities, don't know why..)
This is Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen's entry to famous Chicago Tribune building competition in 1922.
He won only the second place, so this one was never built in real world. (Howells'& Hood's neo-gothic design won).
However, Saarinen's ideas of massing and use of vertical and horisontallines has a great influence on later skyscraper desing in USA.
Maybe the most important work of Saarinen is the Helsinki Railway station.
After competition Saarinen and his family moved to USA. Eliel's son,Eero became also an important architect. Some of Eero's best-knownworks are the Gateway Arch at St. Louis, and the TWA terminal at NYKennedy Airport.
I made this based on a couple of low-resolution pics: 1, 2, 3, so I'm not sure of all details.
