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)

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)

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)
