Wade Hampton Inn, Columbia, SC, 1940 (expansion?) 40ish meters? demolished in the early 80s for 25 story Capitol Center (Wade Hampton destroyed a much better looking Victorian 3-story w/turrets)
Capitol Center is the tallest in this pic
Columbia Hotel, 43 meters, year ?, demolished for 1301 Gervais Tower (i have horribly mixed feelings; i love the black box and it looks great in its spot, but the old building looks great, too)
1301 Gervais Tower
Carolina Plaza - 1973, height ? (180-200 feet is my guess) demolished 2006; originally a hotel, then a university office building, currently a temporary surface lot, planned to be a 5ish story research office building (phase 1 is seen under construction)
