No. This is not in Florida, but Florida is the only other state in which the combination of circumstances occurs. (Arguably, a few others, which will be explained later.)

Edit: I will expand the hint here, because there is nothing obvious in the picture that would help to identify it except that it is very tall building. Besides Florida, which is a similar case (and possibly Kansas, which I can't verify), the conditions here are also met in Iowa, Indiana, Ohio and Delaware by very ordinary private dwellings, and by New Jersey, where a monument has actually been erected to this intent.

Republic building may be the highest building here, but not the highest place.

I mentioned Florida only because this situation occurs in only two states: This one, and Florida. It was intended to be a helpful hint.

That is the correct idea, but it falls short. Try another state.

I frankly don't have a clue what to look for.

There is (I suspect) a reason why LarsMac guessed the building in Wilmington DE. It comes quite close to meeting the hint requirements, but not quite. Delaware and Florida have a characteristic in common, that is also shared by the state that you are trying to guess, and that is the key to the solution.

As an additional hint, one of the building's entrances is on a street whose name, in English, means "lost".

What are we supposed to be identifying? A state? A building? A city? A specific location? Something else?

I'm lost on this one.
