8.0/10 Me liking this tower ;)

I don't really like the building... It looks like two towers fused together, and if you compare it to the surrounding buildings, it just doesn't have the presence. It looks odd and wrong. Some of the outside details are sort of nice though..... I'll be merciful and give it a four.

10!!!!!!!!!


I bet most people don't think of imposing art deco masterpieces like this when they think of Kansas City... but KC is overflowing with these great old wonders!


This building is spectacularly beautiful and has a wonderful top!

I believe the Carlyle in Minneapolis is the tallest residential building west of the Mississippi, just to let you know (according to emporis).
