So many people love it, I don't. I see what Childs was going for, but instead of building a "classic New York skyscraper" he got an oddly-proportioned, awkward tower that, on top of everything, looks shorter than it actually is. it seems to fit the skyline and cityscape better as the immediate area fills with other towers that put its size in better perspective (and block the bugger out of sight). I'll agree that it does have a stately, grandfatherly presence.
