Unfortunately, this thread may fall into the category of "skyline threads", on which this forum has been "holding off for awhile" for about a decade now.
But anyway before the thread gets shut down, I'm going to put in a shameless plug for Boston's Custom House Tower (32 floors, 496ft tall, neoclassical style, built in 1915) :

Dade County Courthouse, is a historic courthouse located at 73 West Flagler Street in Miami, Florida. Constructed over four years (1925–28), it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on January 4, 1989.
The building is 361 feet tall with 28 floors. When it was built, it was the tallest building in Miami and in Florida. It was reputed to be the tallest building south of Baltimore at the time.

I’ve always admired the Tower Life Building when in San Antonio, Texas. It was completed in 1929 just before the Crash, and tops out at over 400ft with 30 floors.
I can recall few other pre-WW2 pyramidal topped skyscrapers in the Southern US. A few with domes or “pagodas”/temples.
Since 1987 is technically “historical” to my kids, my top vote still goes to Atlanta’s One Atlantic Center (formerly the IBM Tower) at 50 floors and 820 feet. It even has a pagoda on top of its pyramid!

Another more modern tower with a Pyramid is the BNY Mellon Building in Philadelphia, 791 feet so a little shorter than the Atlanta tower
