The Lloyds Building deserves a mention.

95m tall, designed by Richard Rogers. All the pipes, cables, lifts, etc. are fitted on the outside - the building is literally "inside out"!

As long as the building has a pinnacle height of 35-149m, it qualifies for this contest.

Roof heights don't matter - as long as the highest point on the building is 35m+.

ur supposed to put it in nominations ive believe

I think the first Euopean skyscraper diserves a nomination because of its pioneerrole for the European highrise.

It is basic that one of the best, if not the best mid-rise is the Terminal Tower in Cleveland. Localy, Easter Columbi and the LA Cityhall are pretty good too.

the achmea tower (114m) the one at the left, that one at the right btw is the avero tower (75m). There in my home city :p

Flatiron Building, New York for a more historic alternative :

http://www.globalphotos.org/newyork/20051227/IMG_4190.jpg

Flatiron is a classic. But there are some resemblances in Toronto and Shanghai :)

Flatiron is a classic. But there are some resemblances in Toronto and Shanghai :)
I've been inside Toronto's Gooderham Building before, and the architecture is so much simpler than the Flatiron in New York. The building is also a lot shorter. Sure, the shape is similar, but that's pretty much it.

I'd say this Toronto building near the main railway station is closer to looking like the Flatiron :

Tribune and Wrigley look quite good, and I prefer Tribune more because of its details. I caught an exhibition showing the many designs of Tribune when it was commissioned. I looked at a couple of them in detail and was quite amazed at the sheer number of different designs!

Flatiron is definitely a lovely classic, and there are so many details on those Naples buildings, albeit they are very simple formations. Simplicity can still be very beautiful.

I'm sorry to say that of course this is not first European Skyscraper, for example, Telefonica building in Madrid, is 88 meters tall and was built between 1925 and 1929, and i never thougth it was oldest european skyscraper. this is the building i'm talking about:
