Kenneth Jackson's Encyclopedia of New York City might be a good place to start. I think they have a entry for the Flatiron/Fuller building, and you could work backwards. -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [ mailto:[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2000 5:54 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Tallest New Yyork City Buildings I am trying to write a time line of the tallest New York City building. The first significant building was Trinity Church. But I don't know what buildings filled in the sequence until the Flatiron Building was erected. With the Flatiron Building the sequence follows; Flatiron New York Life Tower Singer Wollworth Chrysler Empire State World Trade (Tower One) Can anyone help me fill in the sequence before the Flatiron. Thank you. Jim Maguire [log in to unmask]
