There is plenty of room Up top for Becky’s January Squares Photo Challenge this week. And the view is pretty spectacular from up on the top floor of these high-rise buildings in downtown Chicago.
Of course, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a high-rise in Chicago. You can catch a great view from up top these less conventional structures; the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the YMCA Leaning Tower in Niles, a lookout tower at Fort Snelling in Minnesota and the Moser Tower Millennium Carillon in Naperville.
Whether corporate or cute, there’s always room up at the top; Oakbrook Terrace Tower in Oakbrook Illinois, the Amegy Bank Tower in Houston, the James H. and Joann N. Collins Tower along the River Walk in St Charles and a lookout point in the rose garden of Olbrich Gardens in Madison Wisconsin.
Some of these buildings are just extraordinary, a fantastic collection of UPs.
Thanks, Becky!
Hey! You have a photo of the St. Louis Arch 🙂
Yes! Going to the top was an amazing experience.
I grew up in St. Louis so I remember it being built.
Awesome modern architecture, Sue…great pictures!!
Thanks, Indira! Having to dig deep in the archives now for suitable images. Hopefully this year we’ll be able to get out and about a bit more.

Beautiful skyscrapers!
Thanks, Teresa. Although I’m not a huge fan of modern architecture, there is definitely something striking about some of these buildings.
It does look good from afar! Have a great day Sue.
