John Mead Howells
American
John Mead Howells (1868-1959), the only son of the novelist William Dean Howells, was a graduate of Harvard and the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He was best known for neo-Gothic skyscraper designs, and was the author of books of architectural history. One of the architects invited to enter the Tribune competition, he was too busy to devise a design, but invited his friend Hood to enter one as his partner. Neither architect had any expectation that the design of Howells and Hood, Associated Architects, would win. - NRHP
