Talk:Bank of America Building (Providence)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bank Of America tower was NOT the tallest in New England when built.
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=122589 <----- Traveller's Tower in Hartford 161 meters, built before BOA building in Providence
http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=125380 <----- BOA building in Providence 128 Meters
Also, the zip code is 02903, not whatever it was posted as. Who put this page together?
- I see emporis has clear counterexamples to this being the tallest building in New England, but if you read Woodward, William McKenzie (2003). PPS/AIAri Guide to Providence Architecture. Providence, RI: Providence Preservation Society, 101. ISBN 0-9742847-0-X., you'll see Woodward making claims to the contrary:
“ | The Providence skyline's most identifiable eminence was planned and built as the tallest building in New England, a distinction it retained for more than twenty years. | ” |

- What do we make of this? Do we assume McKenzie hasn't done his homework?--Loodog 21:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
