Talk:List of early skyscrapers

Royal Liver building

edit

I know it isn't considered a skyscraper anymore as it is 2 metres short of the emporis standard, but many of the so called 'early skyscrapers' weren't. The Home Insurance building was listed, despite being even smaller.

Also, I added in brackets that it was in liverpool, because that way it makes it easier to select out the non-american ones (it makes cross culture comparison easier).--English cheese man (talk) 10:01, 24 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Bund

edit

The Shanghai Bund has many very old skyscrapers along it. Some research could perhaps be done into these so they may be added into the list.--English cheese man (talk) 00:15, 25 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Warsaw skyscraper

edit

I heard from various documentaries about Warsaw (Poland) that it had a skyscraper prior to WW2. This means it would certainly qualify for the list, despite being destroyed by the Germans during the uprising.--English cheese man (talk) 00:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

US-centered list

edit

We need to include early skyscrapers from South America, Europe and Asia here. I'll get into this. -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 12:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ah well, this was a while ago... I'll still have it on my list though. ;) Anyone up to help? Cheers, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 08:52, 17 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
