Built in 1990 near Monument Circle in Indianapolis, the Chase Tower (formerly known as the Bank One Tower) is the tallest skyscraper in Indiana, and also the tallest in the Midwest, outside of Chicago and Cleveland. The building's twin spires pierce 830 feet (253 m) into the Hoosier skyline, while the 48 floors of office and retail space below peak at the 700 feet (214 m) roof. It is the headquarters for Chase's (formerly Bank One) Indiana operations. It is worth noting that, while the building has two spires of equal height, only one of the spires is actually functional as a transmission mast. The other mast is merely an architectural decoration.

The tower reflects the design of the Indiana War Memorial, three blocks due north. The War Memorial, in turn, reflects the descriptions of the original Mausoleum.
