Aflac maybe the tallest office tower, though not the tallest building.

That's still very much in the City of Houston & its not 10 miles outside of downtown, its about 7 miles.

The tallest building outside of Houston is the Bank of America Plaza in Dallas at 921 ft.

Houston has 4 of the tallest buildings in the state.

The U.S. Steel Tower in Pittsburgh, 841' tall:

It's noteworthy for having the largest roof in the world for a building that's 500'+ tall.

California, Texas and Pennsylvania are the only states in which the tallest building outside the city with the tallest building is 800'+ tall.

That was surprising, because I thought the tallest building in Savannah was 2 East Bryan Street. Also, I was thinking Augusta had the tallest building in GA outside the Metro Atlanta area.
