NH’s tallest building? U-L and wikipedia disagree

It’s hard to think of a good fund-raiser, but the Boy Scouts have one: For $1,000, you can rappel off New Hampshire’s tallest building. Here’s the Union-Leader story. They say 100 people can participate in the August event - very cool.
The article says the state’s tallest building, the Brady-Sullivan office tower (a boring glass-and-steel rectangular prism) is 24 stories. The wikipedia article purportedly listing the tallest buidling in each state says Manchester City Plaza a couple of blocks away on Elm Street is the biggest at 20 stories. I’m not sure why the discripancy exists. The wikipedia article says “The building heights compared here are calculated from the ground level to the architectural top. Only continuous occupiable space is included.” - so it’s not that one is measuring a tower and the other isn’t.

This is a great article. I just wrote you up in my syndicated column and blog. I added that I like to think of cropping as a powerful way to improve photos too. I often use that tool when I was not the original photographer. Great gems in this article.
