Recently built, but not a box: http://www.greatbuildings.com/gbc/images/cid_aj3300_b.jpg

I can see that this building ain't for everyone, but I love it, above the Mississippi like an explosion in frozen frame. My wedding reception was there. A buddy of mine was the facility manager for awhile and once ended up in charge of polishing the damn thing, rappelling off the roof, etc.
