Notes
2008 in Philadelphia, PA
Overtook 1 Liberty Place as the tallest in Philly. It's also very shiny.
1963 in St. Louis, MO
Looks like a big piece of metal, but actually has a tram going to an observation deck up top.
2009 in Arlington, TX
Being the tallest dome in the country, it is a mere 13'1 short of the Statue of Liberty.
1931 in New York, NY
Third tallest in the US, but it might just be first in fame.
1973 in Chicago, IL
Tallest in the US, was the tallest in the world until 1998.
1901 in Philadelphia, PA
At one point the tallest habitable building in the US, but not even close today.
1902 in New York, NY
Claimed to be the most photographed building in New York.
1937 in San Francisco, CA
Quite possibly the most famous building of its type in the world.
1930 in New York, NY
At one point the tallest in the world and sparked the tallest building competitions.

You know that other countries also have buildings? For an idea like this one, I really thought it would be international.
