As we all know, one of the great things about a view camera and a tilt / shift lens is the ability to keep vertical lines vertical while taking a photograph of a building from a slightly elevated position (as opposed to tilting the camera upwards.) Though I was thinking this morning - wouldn't raising the center column on a tripod do the same thing more or less? Though I'm guessing that rise and fall would make more of a dramatic difference in viewpoint? To be honest, I can't really visualise getting that kind of elevated viewpoint of a building with a tripod's center column being raised.
