World’s Tallest Then & Now

This first image is of the world’s tallest buildings – in 1884. Note what the buildings are for and who owns them (most are churches and most are in Europe). Contrast with the second image, which is the world’s tallest buildings now (more or less). Again, note who owns them, what they are for and where they are. BTW, I’ve forgotten who sent me the first image. Own up and I’ll credit you!
