37 The Sun Tower Building in Vancouver, Canada

The Sun Tower literally glows in the setting sun because of its faux-patina steel dome that looks like copper. At 270 feet, it was the tallest building in the city and the British Empire when it was built in 1912 as the headquarters for The Vancouver World newspaper. It was also a challenge for Harry Gardiner, better known as the Human Fly, who scaled the 17 story building in 1918.
