Humana Tower?[edit]

I'm not sure what the official title is... Humana Building or Humana Tower. Certainly it's called "Building" more now, but when it was initially opened journals seemed to refer to it as tower. Humana seems to call it building though on their official webpages. Might be best to find out what it was dedicated as, but that will require some more work. --W.marsh 04:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to the naming of this building, Humana refers to it as the 'Humana Building' http://www.humana.com/corporatecomm/newsroom/releases/PR-News-20050805-085624-NR.html

as do other sites such as http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=124427 http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/kentucky/louisville/humana/humana.html and http://skyscrapercity.com/archive/index.php/t-68491.html Chris24 04:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly you can find plenty calling it tower though, [1], [2]. The testing.. Louisville Encyclopedia also calls it tower. So I'm a bit stumped. It's really not that big of a deal, we'll probably move it to Humana Building eventually. --W.marsh 04:44, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have always heard it referred to exclusively as the Humana Building since it was built and have never heard it called Humana Tower, although its neighbor across Fifth Street has always been called a tower (originally First National Tower and currently National City Tower).

The website of the architect, Michael Graves, calls it the Humana Building. [3] Chris24 05:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you object, I propose that the article be titled Humana Building (but include a redirect from Humana Tower).Chris24 05:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard it refered to as "tower"... ever76.177.18.83 01:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter if anyone hasn't heard of it, as we have a reference to it also being called Humana Tower. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 18:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

10 Greatest[edit]

"Time Magazine listed it as one of the ten greatest buildings of the 1980s." Where is the citation for this? I see nothing on this, even in the Time archives.76.177.18.83 01:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Give it time for somebody to find a reference. Just because you can't find it doesn't mean nobody else can. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's mentioned in the external link, http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/kentucky/louisville/humana/humana.html. I'm not sure where they got that fact though, I'll try to track down where TIME said this. --W.marsh 17:55, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
