The Tower Building, completed in 1889, was New York’s first steel skeleton building and first sky scraper. It stood at 129 feet, with 11 stories. Not very impressive today, but very imposing at it’s time.
By the time of it’s demolition 26 years later by the Morris Building company many other sky scrapers had surpassed the Tower Building, including the Woolworth Building, dwarfing the elder structure at 790 feet and 57 stories.
