List of tallest buildings by U.S. state
The following is a list of the tallest buildings by U.S. state, including the District of Columbia.
40 of the buildings are in their respective states' largest city, and 18 are in their state's capital city. Two of them (the North Dakota State Capitol and the West Virginia State Capitol) serve as their respective states' seat of government. The height of the tallest building in the U.S. (Willis Tower in Chicago) is 1451 feet (442 m)—more than the combined heights of the tallest buildings in Wyoming, Vermont, Maine, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Idaho.
Many of the states' tallest buildings are attributed to banks: four to JPMorgan Chase, three each to Bank of America and U.S. Bancorp, and two for Wells Fargo.

[edit] Methodology
The building heights compared here are calculated from the ground level to the architectural top. Only continuous occupiable space is included. Non-freestanding structures, observational towers, and communication towers are excluded (North Dakota boasts the largest guyed mast structure in the world), as are antennae extending from the structure top. For more information, see building heights.

[edit] Notes
- A.^ City is here defined by the broader definition of urbanized area. See urban area for more information.
- B.^ Year completed
- C.^ Previously named the Bank One Center.
- D.^ The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, also in Portland, is a taller structure, but not inhabited at the higher levels, and therefore does not fit the criteria for tallest buildings.[76]
- E.^ The Stratosphere Tower is the largest tower in Nevada and west of the Mississippi River in the United States. However, because the structure is not fully habitable, it is excluded from this list. Please see the Methodology for further information.
- F.^ Previously held by the Zip Feed Mill until its demolition in 2005. Qwest Tower is currently uncertified, and some dispute has been noted suggesting St. Joseph's Cathedral (also in Sioux Falls) may actually be taller.[77]
