Although its 1,250′, the communications antenna and lightning rod give it a refined look that has stood the test of time since it was added. It would be nice for that to count... and its quite bulky too.
Similar gripes for the Sears tower, which sadly, those two antennas do not count, although give it an exquisite look IMO. Imagine Sears without the antenna, it would ruin the look. |
Yep, every drawing, souvenir and depiction of Sears shows it with the two masts. Same with JHC.
