It didn't take very long. I started with SkyscraperPage's Diagrams site where I did a search using the following options:
Country: United states, Canada
Structure Type: Highrise
Status: Built, Construction
Order By: Official height
Height: Feet
Then I looked through all the buildings and whenever a new city appeared, that building is the city's tallest, and I wrote down its year and structural height in an Excel file (so I could sort easily).
But as much as we love SkyscraperPage, Emporis' height data are more authoritative, so I looked up each city's tallest building there and used Emporis' data as the final height values.

Thanks!

Though in this thread I listed only buildings at least 500 ft tall, my search actually continued until I hit 400 ft. The current tallest building in Providence RI, the Bank of America Building, was built in 1927!

Thanks for the info. According to
http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=111869 , its status is still "proposed". If you are 100% sure that it's under construction, let me know and I will add it to the list.
