If you like brutalism (for me sometimes yes, sometimes no) its a solid tower. I tried to go to the observation deck in October 2021 but it was closed because of a) COVID/staffing shortages and b) renovations. Not sure if it was renovated, but at the time, entering the lobby was like stepping backwards into 1974. There's also that goofy (oxidized?) statue of James Rhodes carrying a briefcase in front of the entrance, facing the statehouse.
As for Cincinnati, I've made no effort to hide my disdain for Queen City Square's tiara. I like the building itself, but good god that ornamental nightmare...
Key Tower is one of Pelli's better designs.
