===Architectural influence abroad=== [[File:Harkness Tower from JE.JPG|thumb|150px|right|[[Harkness Tower]] at [[Yale University]]]] In the 1920s, the truncated tower inspired the form of several structures during a resurgence of [[Gothic Revival]] buildings in the United States. The spire of [[Harkness Tower]] at Yale University in [[New Haven, Connecticut]] (1921) and [[Riverside Church]] (1930) in [[New York City]] were the closest exemplars of the original masonry structure. Skyscrapers such as the Chicago [[Tribune Tower]] (1925) and New York's [[American Radiator Building]] (1926) also took formal cues.<ref name= Larson>{{cite web |last= Larson |first= Todd |title= The tower that stumped Boston |date=2 June 2012 |website=ArchiTalk |publisher= Google Blogger |url= http://architalk-tlarson.blogspot.com/2012/06/tower-that-stumped-boston.html |access-date= 25 September 2015}}</ref> In Boston, Massachusetts, so named for St Botolph's parish, [[Boston University]] planned its own "Boston stump" in the form of the [[Alexander Graham Bell tower]], but these plans were never realized.<ref name="Larson"/>
