That's interesting, though gotta say that the Paris building looks way better than the Iowa one to me:
Paris: balanced, symmetric, with windows that match the age of the building style
Iowa: a clumsy cut and paste of different elements; one pyramid turret roof, one conical, both squeezed uncomfortably against the pitched roof behind. The main facade looks a mess to me: there's no consistant rhythm to the horizontal spacing of the windows; they and the smooth horizontal bands above them look like they come from a different era from the "historical" style attempted elsewhere.
