I thought I would despise it but honestly it works better than I expected it to.

It looks amazing. This tower also has a unique trait of looking like it has always been there. It just fits perfectly.



Side note: The ESB's dirigible mast looks great. Did they take some of the antennas off the mast?

It's crazy to me that so many antennas would be allowed on such a famous visible landmark on the mast and especially the upper facade.

They both look timeless in their own way, and Vanderbilt really does look like a part of the skyline that belongs there. The ESB mast was recently restored.

lights are already going out on the spire... i wonder how easy it is to change them out, or what the procedure is for so doing?
