My favorite skyscrapers are ones from the early 1900's. New York has the best collection of them by far. Chicago has a few. However, can you post photos of such buildings (of at least 30 stories) from your city?
Here are some of my favorites in NY:
40 Wall Street
The Municipal Building
The old city hall which dates from 1802 sits across the street from it
The San Remo
20 Exchange Place
Federal Courthouse
While not skyscrapers, the Surrogates Court and the Tweed Courthouse across the street are awesome
120 Broadway
Bankers Trust
Bankers Trust at ground level (on right hand side)
Sherry Netherland and the Pierre
Woolworth
The Beresford
Metlife
New York Life
The Flatiron
The El Dorado (which looks a lot like the San Remo (also on CPW))
American Radiator
General Electric
Standard Oil
The Trinity Building (named after Trinity Church next door)
Trinity Church with the Trinity Building in the background
No introduction needed
The Crown Building
55 Liberty Street
The Helmsley
The Carlyle
The Ansonia
