So, I'd rather be a faithful friend of America in this case. Actually, I'd like a bunch of their skyscrapers to get in the Unesco World Heritage list.
Well, the buildings in Liverpool already are a UNESCO site. I tried to find any other skyscrapers or office buildings that are, but came up short. I found where the only skyscraper Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, was nominated to become one but couldn't find that it was ever actually designated as a world heritage site.
