This picture makes me realize how perfect Sears' skin is -- and how bad it could have been. Just envision this facade material built up to the shape/height of Sears, which would not have been unimaginable in 1974 (not to be too kindergarten teacher here, but holding your hand over the top third of the image helps). Quick aside: I watched a documentary on Sears that stated a marble facade was under serious consideration when steel prices rose abruptly during Sears' planning. Now >that< would have sucked!
