      The Monadnock Building is “the tallest load-bearing brick or masonry building ever constructed,” and it looks to be about sixteen floors, though I suppose it’s quite possible there are non-structural brick elements in taller buildings.

      This photo was taken on the 25th floor of the building

      Edit, lots of bricks, the building is steel frame clad in brick and terracotta

      You sure? Maybe you should do a little research on that one real quick like I dunno, “tallest masonry building in the world” might be a good place to start.

        Seriously? “Around here” means in my vicinity. Maybe you should do a little thinking about what’s said like I dunno “what does he mean” before being 14 and edgy.

          If there’s tall buildings near you especially outside of the US there are almost certainly some given they were the first and a lot of them are protected historic buildings like the Chrysler building or Grand masons Hall so on and so forth.

          Around here would be new york given the context, around you means… Around you. So maybe you should be more clear instead of being “14 and edgy”.

            It’s not so much a question as a statement intended to shame extremely anti-social behavior in order to encourage a moment of self-reflection.

              Oh the irony.

              extremely anti-social

              Like insulting people you don’t know? Hypocrisy thy name is whatever it is your name might be.
