Talk:Carnegie Hall Tower

"Most slender buildings"
The (well-sourced) statement that, at 50 feet wide, CHT was "among the world's most slender buildings at its completion" is blatantly false, as a moment's thought regarding small buildings should make quite obvious (have you ever seen a cottage? a shed?). It's like claiming that someone who's 7 foot 3 is "among the world's tallest organisms".

We could remove it entirely. We could say "Architectural historian Michael J. Crosbie has called it one of the world's most slender buildings". We could say it's one of the world's most slender skyscrapers.

 * Thanks for bringing this up. It's less contentious that the building was among the slenderest skyscrapers, which is reflected by several of the article's sources. I have changed the wording accordingly. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:25, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
