I'm happy for you.
What you have discovered is nothing new or unique. It's available in all sorts
of editors and stand alone lens
correction apps.

It's kind of hard to get extreme distortions right in that ACR/LR tool. In a
more serious tool, in PS, much more may be
done.

The verticals may be fully corrected. That still leaves a quite unnatural, but
dramatic, 'prow of a ship" look. It also
tends to make verticals that are actually true look tilted.
If desired, the horizontals may be corrected, as well, leaving a quite natural,
if rather dull looking, building.
I often only partially correct the horizontals, to retain some of the drama and
apparent height, as here.
