What is the tallest masonry building in the world?
“At 548 feet high, the Philadelphia City Hall was the tallest skyscraper in the world when it was constructed and today it still holds the title of tallest load-bearing structure on the planet. The building took 30 years and 24 million dollars to complete. It was also the first (known) non-religious structure to hold the record for the world’s tallest building.” Image 1 I read that the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, Italy shares the record with the exact same height.
