Thanks for sharing.
Depending on what you consider to be the Height of the Tower Life building. I measured it to around 404' to the green tower. I am not sure how tall the new flag pole is or if that should even be considered.
Here are some other building built west of the Mississippi during the 20's and 30's, all around at least 400'.
Forshay Tower (Minneapolis) 447'
City Hall (KC) 443'
Mercantile National (Dallas) 430' (523' spire)
First national Center (OKC) 446' (493' spire)
Magnolia Hotel (Dallas) 430' (1923)
Smith Tower (Seattle) 465' (489' spire) (1914)

909 Walnut Tower (KC) 453'

Qwest Building (Minneapolis) 416'
City Place (OKC) 440'
