It looks great in those old photos, and at night, but some of those day time pictures make it look ugly (in comparison with the best art-deco buildings, such as Chrysler).

8/10

Nice classic

Art Deco fav period
Shame as I dont to see it often in real life
the written history gives it more points
Great to see it when being built steal frame and all

It has a good top, nice lighting, good placement in the skyline, and great detailing. 10/10

kansas city skyline is great...

the outside of this building looks hideous, but the interior makes up for it.
