- [[image(Chase Bldg.jpg,right)]] - '''Chase Tower''' is a 27 story, 398 foot office tower on the SW corner of ["Main Street"] and ["Clinton Avenue"]. This corner is the former site of Enos Stone's first Rochester home. The tower currently serves as the local headquarters for ["Chase" JPMorgan Chase]. - - It was completed in ["1973"] as the centerpiece of a major development called "Clinton Square" (the name was later taken by another building in the complex). Site preperation required removal of an alley and three downtown stores. The tower was built by Lincoln Rochester Trust Company to replace their offices in the Lincoln-Alliance Building (McKim, Mead and White / J.F. Warner) of 1926 (this building still stands). At the time it was known as the ["Lincoln First Bank Tower"]. The architect was John Graham and Company of New York, Jack Follete, head of design. Chase Tower is another fine example (along with the ["Xerox Tower"] and ["HSBC building"]) of "late modern" commercial architecture popular in the 1960's and 1970's. - - [[image(chasecontstruction.jpg,left,thumb,300,"Chase Tower under construction")]]The structure of the tower is a "tube in tube" design. The concrete core in the center of the building teams with the stiff floor plates and the load-bearing exterior tube of 24 tapering steel columns to provide an iconic silhouette on the skyline as well as very flexible interior space. Twenty Four "non-functioning" external columns are hollow and carry the utilites throughout the building. This structural design results in a column-free interior, best appreciated when visiting the lobby or the bank on the first floor. - - [[image(chasebird.jpg,right)]] - The exterior columns were originally covered with marble panels until the mid 1980's when the panels began to warp and loosen. Exterior panels were replaced with panels of painted aluminum while the interior retained most of its marble (seen in lobby, note the "veins" in the marble, missing on the aluminum). In ["1996"] name changed to Chase Tower. In ["2007"] the building received a $30 Million renovation project which resulted in new companies moving into the building. Some companies moved from the Midtown tower, leaving that building virtually empty. - - The tower was connected to ["Midtown Plaza"] via a ["skyway"] at one time. It has several storefronts in its concourse including some that relocated from Midtown Plaza. - - [[image(futurechasebuilding.jpg,right,thumb,250, ,"Future Chase Tower entrance")]] - In ["2015"] Gallina Development purchased the property with plans to convert Floors 14-21 into for-rent apartments and Floors 22-26 will be converted to for-sale condominiums. Floors 1-13 will remain office space and the concourse will be used for retail. The corner of ["Main Street"] and ["Clinton Avenue"] will be turned into park space. - - - - - To participate in a survey on local architecture visit, [http://aiaroch.org/archipedia/ Rochester Archipedia Survey]	+ #redirect The Metropolitan
