Well, looking at the prints and not knowing the exact dimentions of the steel used in that column, it had to have come from the 80th floor or below. That is where the major transisition was from box column to I beam construction.

There was no concrete inside or over those columns.

What's the possibility of HSS columns filled with concrete? I'll do some searching. I want to know when this technique was used first. Then go on from there.
