Summary edit

Description

They say bedrock, at that location, was too deep for pilings to reach, so Smith Tower sits on friction pilings, driven down enough into sediment to stop from friction.

Not the tallest building in town, but very historic. Smith Tower was built in 1914. Around 46 floors; tallest building west of the Mississippi and one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world when built. An engineering feat for it's day.
