Notes
A jury of architects was mandated to choose a final design from among 377 entries but was unable to decide on a winner. Ultimately, five architects behind the leading entries were chosen to collaborate on a final design. These were Carlo Broggi of Italy, Julien Flegenheimer of Switzerland, Camille Lefèvre and Henri-Paul Nénot of France, and Joseph Vago of Hungary. Donations from League members were used in the interior.
