The bottom three buildings are all part of the First Baptist Church and all the other two are Trinity Episcopal Church

I don't know the name of the top one, the bottom one has no name, it's just the heating and cooling equipment for City Halls

Cities Service went thru multiple changes, moved to Warren Place, then to Houston.  Various accounts say the building was planned for 70 stories but I think the truth is 52 stories.  It then changed to 35 then OneOK bought it mid-project and capped it at 17.
