^^^ I think that without the top, the Elysian would be fine. I contend that the Park tower is the best. The top may be a bit small from some angles, but it is a slender and elegant interpretation of deco themes. The fenestration, balconies and set back details on that building all look pretty good to me. It seems to have all been down hill from there imo. One of my friends who works for RAMSA thinks that this is LaGrange's best work, but would agree that LaGrange should not have been an architect.
