Highrise Tower Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 In 1922, Alfred C. Finn designed the North Side Methodist Church. The building has since been demolished. Thankfully I found an old photograph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 The building in the drawing looks slightly different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EspersonBuildings Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I think the drawing was probably modified a few times before the building being erected. Finn's masterpiece, The Gulf Building (now Chase Bank Building) had a few sketches of the building before it was built. I forget now where I saw them, but they were quite interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlydays Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 The Gulf Building was cool. My brother-in-law was a weekend DJ at a classical music radio station in the building. The studio was near the top of building. I remember he would let me launch rubber band powered wooden planes from an open window in the studio.....great fun! This was in 1958 when I was 13. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
