The first annual Traditional Building Design Challenge took place during the Traditional Building Exhibition and Conference in Chicago. The American Institute of Building Design, The Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America, and New Old House Magazine put eight architects to task to design a new old house that would fit into one of Chicago's nationally recognized historic districts-the Ridgeland / Oak Park, the Gunderson, or the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie School of Architecture historic district.

Working with set parameters, such as period (1880 to 1920), lot size (50 by 125), square footage (2,200 to 3,200), and style (Foursquare, Prairie style, Bungalow, or Victorian), the competitors had three days on the show floor to complete the renderings and floor plans by hand.

The first place winner Jonathan Miller was awarded a three-year contract to sell his plans through New Old House magazine.

Congratulations to the winners.
