LeVeque Tower, built in 1927. It was intentionally built to be 555 ft and 5 inches tall, 5 inches taller than the Washington Monument (hard for me to believe the WM is that tall). At the time of construction it was the tallest building in Columbus, OH, and remains the second highest skyscraper today. Designed by Howard Crane.
