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]
