List of tallest buildings by U.S. state and territory facts for kids
This page lists the tallest buildings in each U.S. state and territory. We measure their height from the ground to the very top, including pointy spires and cool designs, but not TV antennas. The "Year" column tells you when a building was finished.
Did you know that 40 of these tallest buildings are in their state's biggest city? And 18 are in the state capital! The very tallest building in the U.S. right now is Central Park Tower in New York. It's about 1,550 feet (472 meters) tall. That's taller than the combined heights of the tallest buildings in Wyoming, Vermont, Maine, South Dakota, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, and West Virginia! Many of these tall buildings are owned by banks, like JPMorgan Chase, U.S. Bancorp, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America.

How We Measure Building Heights
When we talk about how tall a building is, we measure from the ground up to its very top. This includes cool architectural parts like spires. But we don't count tall antennas that are just stuck on top.
For example, One World Trade Center is considered taller than Willis Tower. This is because One World Trade Center has a very tall spire that is part of its design. Even though people work on higher floors in Willis Tower, the spire makes One World Trade Center taller by official rules.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat is like the official scorekeeper for building heights. They help decide if there are any disagreements. If you want to learn more, check out building heights.
