History
The building is seven stories tall and rises 102 feet (31 m) above the ground.[3] Seven construction workers were killed in 1913 when the top two floors collapsed during construction. The building was completed the following year. It housed a millinery company named the Lyman Company until the building was bought and renamed in 1933.

gollark: Hmm. Guess they're just apioform.
