Antennas on Chicago skyscrapers...
Hello everyone. This is my first post here, so I apologize if it belongs elsewhere...
1. As you probably already know, the big TV antennas were added to the Sears Tower in 1982. Prior to that point, the building was topped with two stubby, little antennas. Were these original antennas actually part of the design, or was the original design without them?
2. My father seems to recall that the John Hancock Center was also originally built with stubby antennas. However, I have never found a picture of it in that state. Are his recollections accurate?
3. Why are the John Hancock antennas no longer striped? When did they start going with solid white?
