The Willis Tower is not built at sea (lake) level, so yes it should be visible above the horizon by whatever amount it's foundation is above water level.
Also that distance is how far you can see at lake level, which means your eye is literally at the water line. Go to that curvature calculator and see what happens when you are 6 feet tall standing on the deck of a boat that is 4 feet above the water line. All of a sudden you can see much further and the water line comes way down again.
The water line comes way up the building, but not all the way up, and so that's your argument that the Earth is Flat? Wouldn't that be an argument that the Earth is larger than they say? It's still being obscured by the waterline, which proves curvature.
So at this point you've admitted curvature, but you are arguing about the amount....
