The Bank of America Corporate Center is a perfect example of how to weave a city's history and identity into its architecture. Here we have a city and county named for a queen -- and here in that city we have an iconic building sporting a crown, with as many floors in the tower as there were in that queen's reign.

Just about perfect.
