Talk:Pacific Electric Building

Pacific Electric Article
I hastily wrote the info about the Pacific Electric Building. I don't have a source in front of me that I can cite, but I currently live in the building, and have studied the rail line it once housed in school. I would consider what has been provided so far common knowledge with no source being neccesary.

I deleted the part about current construction beacuse construction on the building has stopped. 65.125.163.221 05:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know where the tale began that the P.E. Building was, on completion, the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi, but common knowledge or not, it's wrong. It wasn't even the tallest building in Los Angeles at the time. That honor went to the Continental Building at the southeast corner of 4th and Spring Streets, completed in 1904. In 1905, the tallest building west of the Mississippi may have been the 18 story Spreckels (AKA Call) Building in San Francisco, completed in 1898. In any case, by 1905, San Francisco was the site of many buildings taller than the Pacific Electric Building. Whyaduck 05:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
