190 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. Quick Facts

By far one of the best skyscrapers built in Chicago in the last 60 years! Note: it's an actual gabled roof, there's a law library inside the gable, also not rose windows (not all round windows are rose windows). I don't like beige when it's vinyl siding or EIFS, but when it's actual stone, that's another story. Interior is stunning also!
