All skyscraper lovers must bow down to honor the great Otis Elevator Company. A pioneer in vertical transportation that permitted prime office/apartment buildings to feasibly go higher than 6 or 7 stories. One would not have the early Chicago and NY skyscraper landmarks or anything that has followed to the deserts of Dubai or the shores of Shanghai.
