Talk:Monadnock Building

message: The article: Skyscraper conflicts with this article, citing Philadelphia City Hall as the tallest masonry load-bearing building in the world.  Is there a distiction made in this article that I'm missing, or is someone simply wrong? --Woodardj 17:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed this too. The PCH article states that the building is much taller, so perhaps the author of this article is just wrong. Should it not be changed? 72.196.104.129 09:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am fairly certain that this article is wrong. Whilst the Monadnock may be *one* of the tallest masonry buildings in the world, I severely doubt it is the winner of that honour. The cited source also fails to verify the claim. I'll amend as appropriate. Cheers, DWaterson 10:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This section is quite important and is pretty well done.  I'd add something about the building on the SWC of Washington and Dearborn (across from the Daley Center, to the Miro's right, exactly half a mile north of the Monadnock) Google Street View  It's "common knowledge" that the curve near the base of the building (shown on GSV) is a nod to the Monadnock's curve at the base.  Don't know where a reliable source is yet, but ...

message: The description of the diagram cited a 1999 source that only the Monadnock remained of the great buildings in the diagram.  This is not true.  The building marked #10 is the Fisher building, which is still standing.  Behind it, unnumbered, is the still standing Old Colony Building.  And the unmarked low building at the SE corner of Jackson and Dearborn is also still standing. But it is true that the buildings marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8, and 9 have all been demolished.  But because 1 other numbered building is still standing, the statement was incorrect and its deletion was justified.  Icebox93 (talk) 10:39, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the building marked #10 is the Boyleston Building, built in 1875 and presumably demolished to make room for the Fisher Building in 1896 (see Rand McNally, p. 187). That same source, however, confirms that the building to the immediate south is the Old Colony (owned by the same interests that built the Boyleston, it seems), which is in fact still standing. I'm fine with the edit, although I would prefer something like "of the buildings Rand McNally considered notable at the time, only the Monadnock is standing". That's what the Randall source you deleted said. And it seems an interesting (albeit quite minor ) point. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 16:44, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
