Notable? edit
Here's a quote I found at http://www.chicagoarchitecture.info/Building/1103/190_South_La_Salle_Street.php
" 90 South LaSalle is another very-1980's skyscraper, with its beige exterior and faux gabled roof. But what it lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in height. It appears to be a very tall château complete with small rose windows in the gables and arched one-story windows capping the vertical window elements, unifying them into a single form. Perhaps too much effort was spent emphasizing the verticality of these windows, as their proportions make it look like some kind of ritzy high-rise jail. It is most notable, however for the fact that this was John Burgee's first skyscraper in his native Chicago.
The design of this building was inspired by Burnham and Root's now demolished Masonic Temple from 1892.
May, 2006 - C.B. Richard Ellis buys this building for $137,000,000."
Sounds to me like this can be merged (read: included as a note) with the John Burgee article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Setitup (talk • contribs) 03:54, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
NOTABILTY edit
I'd say it's not notable because it's not important enough to be updated; but then again I just fixed errors on the SEARS TOWER page.
I'd say there are now so many buildings of around this height so it's not notable; but every building that makes it into the "list of tallest" article in a city like Chicago gets an article regardless of how insignificant they may be and if it's impossible to find a picture of them because they are sandwiched between two taller buildings
I'd say it's not tall enough but as a general rule if it's over 150 meters it's "notable". Daniel Christensen (talk) 04:36, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
I'd say it has no image but I just found one and in fact it looks like a unique building with a very retro look. Daniel Christensen (talk) 04:42, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
