- 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.

- [[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.	+ The tower currently serves as the local headquarters for ["Chase" JPMorgan Chase].
