The thing about the Sacramento Pony Express museum is Sacramento with the actual terminus of the Pony Express.
It's not many. I liked the Winston-Salem one quite a bit too, yet it wasn't officially listed. I like the Minneapolis one probably the most but I have an admitted bias.

I like the one I work in 3 Wells Fargo in Charlotte but it is under 500 ft barely. Also connecting 1,2, and 3 in Charlotte is the Atrium which is really nice

Houston's is 992' tall.

All of them are kinda lackluster imo (Even the one I voted for).
Yeah I voted for Houston but neither excite me.

Really?

You don't like Minneapolis's or the modern looking one on Miami?

Drewcifer posted a gorgeous night time picture of the one in Minneapolis. I'll save that thought and put it as my second choice after the Houston one and right before the Miami one.

Thank you for sharing.

Cesar Pelli sure knows how to throw together a skyscraper. I vote Minneapolis like I voted Charlotte for BofA.

Yep, I like those buildings as well.

What I meant to say:
The museum in Sacramento's Well Fargo Tower is the Pony Express museum for Wells Fargo Co. The City of Sacramento was the actual terminus of the Pony Express.

The Minneapolis building seems to be inspired by the Art Deco style and is the only one in the list which isn't a boxy monstrosity.
