Fort Worth's skyline is relatively small, so I don't want to overwhelm it.

1. Gonna steal volguus's idea of 111 Westminster. Many of FW's prewar skyscrapers are beautiful, but simple box shapes. We could use some setbacks and spires. It's it right in.

2. We have a lot of zig-zag moderne art deco, but none of them are blue. So, give me LA's Eastern Columbia Building. Would be another nice pinnacle to the prewar skyline.

3. Milwaukee City Hall. Absolute landmark and I want it. The world needs more Flemish Revival.

4. Fort Worth lacks really any international Mies style or Pomo skyscrapers. So I'd go for a twofer here and select Houston's Pennzoil Place, would add some nice bulk to the skyline and certainly stand out, without being overly massive. Beautiful lobby too.

5. Can we include unbuilts? If so, I'd take Nashville's never built Signature Tower. A stunning crown and would easily be the new tallest and would really live up to it's name.
