Different scale

On the nomination form for the National Register of Historic Places, professor Edward B. Wilkens wrote: "The design is modelled on that of the Tower of Winds in Athens. It has the same proportions, though on a reduced scale," I think the remark about the different scale is relevant for the paragraph on the architecture. – Editør (talk) 14:07, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
