USBank Building in Chicago, Illinois

190 South LaSalle stands as a quintessential 1980s skyscraper, its beige exterior and faux gabled roof unmistakable in their nostalgic charm. But what it lacks in innovative design, it more than makes up for in sheer height. The building appears to be an imposing chateau, complete with small rose windows nestled in the gables and arched one-story windows crowning the vertical window elements, forging a unified whole. Perhaps too much emphasis was placed on accentuating the verticality of these windows, resulting in proportions that resemble those of a luxurious high-rise prison. Nevertheless, it is most notable for being John Burgee's first skyscraper in his native Chicago.
