Architect: Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Associates
Built between 1987 and 1989 as the headquarters for J.P. Morgan & Co., the tower has over 1.7 million square feet of office space. The tower was designed by Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo & Associates with a postmodern, Greek-revival, and neoclassical look to emphasize both height and size. The building clashes horribly with the earlier towers around it and is quite bulky from many angles.
