Abstract

Skyscrapers are often seen as a typically American phenomenon. This paper aims at demonstrating that in terms oif technology major developments are European and that, albeit in lesser number and not as high as in the USA, skyscrapers were also built in the late 19th century in countrries other than the USA. The paper concludes with an overview of late 19th century non-US skyscrapers.
