At 612 feet above grade, the Singer Building was the tallest building in the world from its completion until the completion in 1909 of the Metropolitan Life Tower on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. It is the tallest building ever intentionally demolished (in 1968) and was, until the destruction of the World Trade Center, the tallest building ever demolished.
