The skyscraper as we know it is the result of the convergence of two construction technology advances in the last quarter of the 19th century: 1) passenger elevators, because most folks don't want to take stairs to the 10th floor, and 2) steel frame construction, because the stone/brick bearing wall construction used prior to that was not structurally/spatially feasible above a certain height- the exterior walls at the base of the 16 story Monadnock building of 1891 were 6 feet thick, which ate up a tremendous amount of floor area!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-4811777377605966032011-03-07T07:22:52.341-08:002011-03-07T07:22:52.341-08:00I love the old Denver cards.

I always thought Denver would be hilly before I visited, being the 'mile high city' of the Rockies and all- pretty close to flat as a pancake though, but the mountains are just a short drive away if you want them... That's a rather fancy gate compared to the buildings behind it, seems sorta out of place, I'd expect it at some European palace or garden instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-8010767252159694142011-03-06T06:28:24.604-08:002011-03-06T06:28:24.604-08:00Those are interesting views.
