Great architecture. Walk around the outside of the building and see the bits of architecture implanted into the sides-from all over the world from ancient to modern. You'll find hidden gems. The neo-gothic tower's signature is the exterior collection of stones from other famous edifices, like the Parthenon, St. Peter's Basilica, Notre Dame, the White House and most recently, the Berlin Wall.
