Talk:Tower Life Building (San Antonio)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reference to this structure being the "tallest building West of the Mississippi" was removed. The Smith Tower of Seattle, Washington (1914) held that distinction at 42 floors. The Smith-Young Tower of San Antonio was not completed until 1929 and has only 30 floors.IceBRG (talk) 22:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I really don't think it was even the tallest building in Texas, and may have been the fourth tallest in Texas. See Magnolia Hotel, Niels Esperson Building in 1927, and the JPMorgan Chase Building which finished in 1929 as well. Kuru ^talk 22:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
