Hudson's Site Building Thread

[Gistok]

My whole reason in even mentioning a spire/mast and Cleveland has some historical facts that others aren't aware of.

From 1930 the year the 708 ft. Terminal Tower in Cleveland was built [[I believe it was 774 ft. with the pinnacle)... all the way until 1964... Cleveland has always boasted that they had the tallest tower in North America outside of NYC [[not even Chicago had a taller tower until at least the 1960s).

And with the building of the 888ft. Key Tower [[947 ft. with spire) built in 1991... Cleveland now boasts that they have the tallest tower "between" NYC and Chicago.

My question of a spire on the Hudson's Tower was partly as a response to Cleveland's 88 year boasting rights. Dan Gilbert has the basketball team in Cleveland, and also the Jack Casino in Cleveland [[that he is interested in divesting himself of). And that Casino is in the Terminal Tower complex [[which he doesn't own). His major other non-sports/non-gambling buildings are all in Detroit... which is why I was wondering if he had any intention of outdoing Cleveland in the building height area. There's no indication that this is his intention... but he keeps upping the height of the Hudson's Tower [[734 ft., 800 ft., 912 ft.).

It was in researching Cleveland's downtown history, where my suggestion for a spire to be taller than Cleveland came up.

If there is no reason for a radio tower [[spire) on top of the Hudson's Tower, then there shouldn't be one.

But when you look at a closeup of the latest design of the Hudson's Tower... it is covered in pinnacles.... But like the buildings eventual height... that too may change!
