Hi Ken,
I believe there are several "correct" answers to this question (and yes I was watching the Modern Marvels show earlier tonight I also believe that the NY stock exchange had the first system commercialy installed in an existing building and that the Kansas building was the first designed using the benefits of AC. http://www.greatachievements.org/?id=3854 Regards Gerry Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

The answer is the 21 story Hiram Office building in San Antonio in 1928, it was the first building specifically designed for and installed with Central Heating and A/C, yes Gerry, I saw it on Modern Marvels, I thought it was interesting and just wanted to share it. Emphasis on designed and Heating and A/C, kind of a trick question, makes one think harder. IMO

My guess for A/C would have been the White House. I just figured they needed it more than other places because of all the hot air.
