LOS ANGELES SKYLINE
Los Angeles has one of the largest skylines in the United States. In 1911 the city updated the height limit ordinance to 150' (decorative towers were exempted). The 1911 ordinance was repealed in 1957. The skyline continues to reach upward due to seismic design standards which are highly earthquake-resistant. The U.S. Bank Tower is now the tallest building in the U.S. West of the Mississippi river.
