Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying my little project here. I'm working on expanding this list, both in cities and likely in buildings per city.

The reason the Courthouse isn't on Pitts' list is height. The Courthouse is a gorgeous building, but in 1950 it was down to #18. In 1950, for its size Pittsburgh had one of the more impressive skylines with 15 buildings with 20+ floors.
I'll also highlight in red the buildings we have lost. After this, I'm planning an extensive post on NYC's pre-war buildings.
