Houston Downtown skyscrapers

Center: Bank of America. Its red Napoleon granite came from Sweden.

It contains a building within a building. Because the telegraph cables of Houston’s Western Union headquarters couldn’t be relocated, the Bank of America Center had to be built around it. The building can still be seen, fully intact, inside the skyscraper’s lobby.
