NOVEMBER 2015 CONTEST CLUE: Although this much-publicized design school made its architect, a former student, famous, the young talent was to find more opportunities to build in other countries.

OCTOBER 2015 CONTEST ANSWER: The answer to the October issue’s Guess the Architect is CHARLES B. ATWOOD, who, working for D.H. Burnham and Company, designed numerous temporary structures for the world’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. His Palace of Fine Arts, a Greco-Roman-style pavilion, was rebuilt from 1933 to 1940 as the permanent home of the Museum of Science and Industry.
