You would think that with Raleigh's early advantage on steel and glass highrises that we would have gotten a little further by now. :D

That's freakin' awesome, Flash :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So, Raleigh had a real skyscraper for a long time. That tower must be of historic value right now... and a very progressive design, indeed :jk: Thanks for sharing this, it really made my day.

Ah yes, Raleigh the boom town of the 1900's. We actually had the WTB for about 1 year before New York took over. Its ashame that that building was destroyed during WWI, but I'm glad that we've built a replica of it about 200 feet to the north of where that great tower once stood.
