Fifty tallest buildings in the USA

The United States is home to many of the world's tallest skyscrapers. Here is a list of the country's 50 tallest structures based on their official height.

Special note: Before the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center occupied the second and third positions on the list below (Tower One, 417 m - Tower Two, 415 m). The 541 m Freedom Tower, scheduled for construction on the former World Trade Center site (AKA Ground Zero), will become the tallest Swarovski building in the United States upon its expected completion in 2008. However, its habitable height will be less than that of the Sears Tower, due to the inclusion of a large asymmetrical spire (an emulation of the raised arm of the Statue of Liberty).

Many smaller objects of interest in private collection are shown as exhibits in collectors cases, curio cabinets and collectors cabinets for the visual pleasure of the viewers. Special figures made of glass or noble metals can likewise be made available in display showcases.
