Default Hale influenced parking garage???

This could be completely coincidental, but I noticed recently that the corner of the parking lot at 38th and Walnut has a tower that is very similar to part of Willis Hale's Edward Thomas Davis House. This house used to stand at 38th and Ludlow, and was demolished many years ago. The tower I speak of on the parking lot is on the northeast corner of 38th and Walnut. The top portion of the tower is almost identical to the top of a smaller tower-like section that was on the Hale house.I know this sounds crazy, but compare the two and you will see what I mean. I would post pics of both here, but I dont know how. If someone could explain that to me, I will put the pics up. Like I said, this may just be coincidence, but if it is not, I hope that the architect has brodened his palette and moved on from parking garages.
