[edit] Former names

It should also be included that this Building is being used as a Jail as well. I know this is true because I shared an elevator with an Inmate. The top is also a tourist attraction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.4.231 (talk) 15:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The text said:

Chase Tower (formerly known as the First National Bank Tower and Bank One Tower)

This is incorrect. The building was originally designed for American Fletcher National Bank and would have been called the American Fletcher Tower, but they were acquired by Bank One while the building was under construction. It was opened as the Bank One Tower and was called that until JPMorganChase acquired BankOne. --rogerd 15:59, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Well it's called the Chase Tower now. . .and before that, it was called Bank One Tower. Bank one tower is it's former name. kthnx —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.21.206.124 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Yea....that's what I said on 14 September 2006. I wasn't disputing the current name, just clarifying the history of the building, and I disputed that it was ever called First National Bank Tower, which is what the article previously said. --rogerd 03:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tallest in the Midwest Outside of Chicago and Cleveland???

Emporis.com says the Chase Tower is tallest too, but the IDS Tower in Minneapolis is 792ft with antennas that rise to 910ft. That's taller than the Chase Tower's 700ft tall roof and 830ft overall height.

Either the information is incorrect, or Minneapolis isn't considered a Midwest city anymore.

This is per the architectural details, counting spires, but not antennas, so the Chase Tower's 830ft spires are better than IDS's roof height. Reywas92^Talk 22:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
