Structurally, One Shell Plaza in Houston is the tallest. Its massive communications antenna on top of its roof brings it to right at 1,000'.

By floor count, Republic Plaza in Denver is the tallest with 56 floors or 6 more than Houstons. To the roof both are 714'.

One Shell Square in New Orleans is 51 floors or 697' tall making it the squatiest of the bunch.

Surprisingly no one has brought these two up, but I think that 100 East Wisconsin in Milwaukee looks very simalair to One Detroit Centre in Detroit.

Although there are many differences, at first glace you can see a resemblance. Personally I think One Detroit Centre is 1000x better than 100 E. Wisconsin could ever even hope to be. Actually, One Detroit is one of my favorite skyscrapers in the world.
