I think poly extrusion would be easiest, at least to start with. You'll have to determine whether the more intricate details, windows, cornices, etc, will be modelled or textured.

I guess the bevel tool will be used alot to create the tower. Begin from a square, and make the outleds from that. (see picture) What do you guys think? How would you go about it?
