As a chicagoian this is definately one of my favorite buildings to admire.  Sophie Ould-Ferhat - Thursday, April 27th, 2006 @ 6:14pm • Rating: Five stars.The tower of the cathedral of Rouen (Normandy, France) which inspired the Tribune Tower is the Butter Tower, la tour du Beurre built in 15th century in the late gothic style called flamboyant. It was named Butter tower because its construction was paid with the money people gave to the church to get the right to eat butter and milk during Lent.  Patricia McClymont - Wednesday, January 5th, 2005 @ 5:58pm • Rating: Five stars.After my visit to Chicago, my only criticism is the inscription below the stone from Flodden Field which states that it was a Scotch-English Battle 1513 Northumberland England. I was born a few miles north of the battle site in a town called Coldstream (in Scotland) and know that all Scottish people will be upset that it is inscribed as a stone from a Scotch - English Battle instead of a Scottish - English Battle (we think of Scotch as a drink!)
