I found this slide among the family photos. It's the Southland Center in Dallas, Texas, from 1960. My dad (the photographer in the family) did not take this one: it is printed on the margins as a commercial slide. I keep finding more stuff.The Southland Center is now a Sheraton hotel. It appears to be from that ugly building era that reigned in the 1950s, and it was built in 1955. It has hosted conventions, including one for anime fans, and another for Twihards. The photo in the Wikipedia page shows that they actually have managed to make the building look better. I've not been to this place. but I've probably seen it on the skyline. It's a substantial building. I like Sharaton's, so it is probably a nice place to stay at.

I don't know anything about architecture, but am assuming that time was all about "clean, modern lines".
This one appeared to have been greenish, too (I doubt it's all the photo tint).
Vancouver is largely green glass skyscrapers, but it doesn't look so bad.
Aside from Paining it, it Looks Like they Bought all New Windows.
