The Discovery Channel has a show Mysteries of the Abandoned. One of the things they showed
is the Shukhov Tower. It held some high tension power lines until the lines were rerouted and it was abandoned.

They mentioned the Hearst Building in Manhattan
during the story.
Another was the Marx Generator by Moscow.

It was supposed to be defense against incoming nuclear weapons.
