Additional Details:
Future New York will be pre-eminently the city of skyscrapers. The first steel frame structure that was regarded as a skyscraper was the tower outfitting at 50 Broadway, a ten story structure 129 feet high. There are now over a thousand buildings that high in Manhattan. The best known skyscraper is the Singer Building, 612 feet high, the Metropolitan building, 700 feet high; and the Woolworth Tower which towers above them all and rises to a height of 750 feet. The proposed Pan American Building is to be 801 feet high.
