Our KcP&L building was originally suppose to have a twin tower, but the depression hit so they only built one tower. That's why one side of the building doesn't have any windows. i also think detroit's skyline probably got hit hard by the depression as well!

Detroit.

Let's see, the following buildings were never built:

Book Tower. Would've been the world's tallest building upon its completion.

Fisher Building. IMO, the most beautiful building in all of Detroit. The plans called for constructing a large central tower, approximately 900 feet tall, flanked by two smaller towers. Unfortunately, the small right tower was the only oneever completed.
