[edit] Wording

I realize that "ancient" might not be the correct word, since I include cathedrals from the middle ages, etc. I am thinking of structures built before the 20th century. Most famous buildings from the 20th century are very tall and (I think) have a completely different character from buildings before that time. I ranked the list by height, which is another reason why we would not want to include 20th century structures (the older structures would be buried at the bottom of the list). Maybe somebody else can think of a better word than "ancient." - Obiwan74

I agree ancient implies Greek-Roman and older. Why not rename it pre-20th century. By the way I disagree with the completely different nature; neo-gothic architecture went on into the 20th century. Arnoutf 21:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meters

Feel free to add metric information, so people outside of the states can understand it. Migdejong 23:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
