The structural columns of the Richard J. Daley Center are 87 feet apart, which is a relatively large span. Towards the top of the columns, the width diminishes as the floors require less support.
For four years, from 1965 to 1969, the Daley Center was the tallest building in Chicago. In 2001, it received historical status, only 36 years after its completion. The building has a small height to floor ratio, due to the large floor to floor distance of 18 feet.

Florida Power high voltage power tower located in Pinellas Park, Florida, January 1974. This photo was something I wanted to take for some time and the lighting was good, so I took the photo from the the inside and up.
In LA?? Try it out, it's probably one of the best kept secrets of downtown Los Angeles :)
With its stunning steel architecture, it's probably one of the most beautiful buildings I've seen in my life.
Would say this would be easily one of LA's biggest Icons :)

Mykola’s Krupavicius Gravesite. Saint Casimir Cemetery - Chicago Illinois.
This all welded steel structure marks the grave of Mykola’s Krupavicius - (1885-1970). All the letters that are inside the arc shaped structure are welded to hollow steel tubes which are welded in place between each piece of vertical square tube.
The stone carving up at the top is bolted to a steel plate that rests on either 6 or 8 horizontal square tubes. The base of the structure has more letters that may have threaded studs welded on the backside so they could be bolted down.
I am also not sure if the entire structure was ever painted. There is no evidence of any paint. The structure is rusty. The letters inside the arc show faded & worn paint as does part of the base under the individual letters.
Working on steelwork can be dangerous so the use of safety equipment like this fall restraint harness is essential
