The old frame does exist.  The spire is a wonderful example of its 
type - it is very finely tapered.  It looks exactly "angled" on all 
sides from the base to the top - which means it is not!  (Is it 
an "antithesis", or some such word that describes the fact that the 
spire looks to the observer to have exactly straight sides towards the 
point, but does not as straight sides would look wrong due to paralax 
error(?)).
