After researching skyscrapers I came across the Philadelphia PSFS building which is hailed as the first modern skyscraper in the U.S. Being a skyscraper forum what's your view on this building and design.

One the of the U.S.A's Greatest Achievments by far. I went there looking around and it's looks awesome mahogony and chestnut panels very elegant. This building was truly a remarkable milestone. The First Modern Skyscraper and still looks modern.
