Maybe if it had a spire on top...
I've loved it the way it is, American International - 60 Wall Street - 20 Exchange seem to make a nice compact cluster. Apparantly 20 Exchange was supposed to have a pyramid making it the WTB, apparantly the depression ended up making the tower shorter.

Oh thank god that horrible thing was scrapped. That would have ruined the pre-9/11 Skyline. It would have replaced that large (but nice) pre-war skyscraper and complelty block out 40 Wall Street.
