Hello Greg, There's a white illuminated castle on top of a building in Chicago. I was wondering if the idea of the Aerie Building with Castle Wyvern on top of it came from this. Thanks.

Greg responds...

No. Or at least, not to my knowledge. I've never heard of what you're describing before now. I've been to Chicago twice in my life, and I don't recall ever having seen it.
Bob Kline did the earliest development design of that castle atop the skyscraper, and he never mentioned any Chicago building.
I can't remember who first came up with the notion. It might have been Bob or me or any of a number of people who were working in or around the development department at that time.
