Nice to see it without all that scaffolding, even in a photograph. Is that ever going to come off?

My great-grandfather was an ironworker who fell to his death while working on the Terminal Tower in November 1929. I still have a lot of relatives who remain in the Cleveland area.

A quick glance at the World Almanac notes...

Terminal Tower (1930) was 708' tall with 52 storeys

In NYC at the same time 40 Wall Street a rival to the Chrysler Bldg for worlds tallest was listed at 927' and 70 storeys

The Chrysler Building would go on to beat the Eiffel Tower as the tallest building in the world at 1046 feet and 77 storeys.

Incedentally the Woolworth Building of 1913 could still look down on the Terminal Tower from a height of 792' and 57 storeys
