Chicago Tribune Tower


Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribune_Tower

Completed in 1925, it is 462 feet tall.  It is one of the few neo-Gothic skyscrapers in the world. "The top of the tower is designed after the Tour de beurre (″butter tower″) of the Rouen Cathedral in France, which is characteristic of the late gothic style, that is to say, without a spire but with a crown-shaped top."
