		The Metropolitan Building, originally known as the Northwestern Guaranty Loan Building, is considered to be one of the most architecturally -significant structures in the history of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
		The building is considered by some to be the city's first skyscraper, with 12 stories and standing 218 ft (66m) tall.
		A large skylight allowed the interior to be safely lit in a time when the electric light was rare (though the building was eventually wired), and the floors of walkways circling the center court were translucent to allow more light to filter through.

	NEW YORK SCRAPERS - EARLY CENTURY II
		At 204 m it was the first building to exceed in height such old monuments as the Pyramid of Cheops, the Washington Monument and the towers of Cologne Cathedral, although it was still far from beating the Eiffel Tower -- despite the Singer officials shamelessly praising it as "the highest building in the world".
		An indication of the bulk of the building was the fact that it remained the largest office building (by internal volume) in the world until the Empire State Building of 1931.
		The building site is only 15 m wide and 27.5 m deep, and the architects remarked that they wanted to make the building "a model for the tall, narrow building in the center of a city block." And it was regarded as such for the next decade of feverish urban construction.

		Our building was once knocked down by the tornado of 1912, but we got back up again.
		Finally, in November 1951 the two congregations merged to form Knox-Metropolitan United Church (therefore we are proud of and insist upon the hyphen), and moved into the Metropolitan building at Victoria and Lorne.
		Our ministry here is committed to the problems and joys of the downtown core of the city, to worshiping, preaching, and singing our hearts out, to the serious study of our Biblical and historical traditions, to forming a company of very diverse people who are committed to walking with one another on their Christian pilgrimage.

		But she hadn't touched the building, had in whatever was left of her reasoning mind known that the bronze traceries meant danger.
