Rhodes Tower, Columbus (Ohio), 1973
629 feet/192 meters
41 floors

It's the tallest building in the city and in Central Ohio (unfortunately).

The white tower to the left of the concrete part is linked to it, making for a very gross dual-tone skyscraper. Yuck!
IMO there is not much wrong with this tower. The small tower with round corners in front of it is much worse.
 
^^Columbus is hidden in Central Ohio.

Metropolitan Correctional Center, Chicago:

This ugly "correctional center" is hidden very well inside the Loop. No one would notice it from the outside.
This one's not that bad. I mean, being a correctional facility, and due to the location, they didn't seem to have much choice. It seems to me that they pretty much did the best they could with what they had. :hmm:
 
BHP just looks unfinished in addition to being "fat". Sacramento, California has a similar looking building. It's called the U.S. Bank Tower. At night it has the top part lit up with pulsating/fading purplish/blue light (imagine a propane/gas flame). At least Perth's building is 769 feet tall vs. Sacramento's 402 foot tall version of the BHP.
