A mini skyscraper

Look at all the stuff you can find on Twitter

You’re looking at the worlds littlest skyscraper.

It’s unassuming, but the story behind it is incredible.

I've only just discovered that the Chrysler Building once had a 71st floor, German Expressionism-esque observation deck called 'The Celestial' which was shut in 1945. pic.twitter.com/EcAyZqHmHt

Has the Chrysler Building lost its glory?

With changes to the iconic landmark’s ownership, a crumbling interior and newer, glitzier towers surrounding it, the building is at risk of losing its icon status. https://t.co/8fNjslXeMg pic.twitter.com/a6sGHSibCq

Twitter and YouTube posts on the Flatiron Building

The Flatiron Building in Manhattan is a uniquely-shaped structure in Manhattan that was recently sold.

The Flatiron Building has remained almost completely vacant for four years. Last week, a little-known buyer won an auction for the structure and then went off the radar, failing to pay the $19 million deposit. Now, the famous building's fate is uncertain.https://t.co/19JNZ1HtGJ

A man named Jacob Garlick bought the Flatiron Building at a public auction last week. This week he just… didn’t make the downpayment for it. This situation is the funniest thing in the world to me right now. Jacob why did you do that!!!!! https://t.co/Tyo06Bn3KQ

Baltimore’s Hendler Creamery building will be demolished

From nifty historic re-use plan to half-demolished eyesore -the now-stalled Hendler project could have meant decent mid-priced housing & uplift for E. #Baltimore's Jonestown, but neighbors say politically-connected developer overreached https://t.co/fdEddgwFrB pic.twitter.com/gDQS0uXGGG

Instead of saving this 133-year-old landmark, a developer with a redevelopment plan that fizzled has left it roofless and in line for demolition. https://t.co/bR45NoFA4d Critics decrying the state of historic preservation in Baltimore say the Hendler Creamery saga is Exhibit A. pic.twitter.com/UB1TOTPBR5

Going, going…and soon gone. Demolition has begun on Baltimore's historic Hendler building, whose fate was sealed when a developer ripped off the roof and left it open to the elements https://t.co/yhEhWEHvOz Just a few architectural elements, like the stone faces, will be saved pic.twitter.com/HZye5ENxjb

The Astrodome

The Astrodome was the first domed sports stadium. It is not the home of major teams anymore but it’s still standing. Hurricane Katrina evacuees were housed there. Its future is uncertain.

An iconic image by Neil Leifer of Sports Illustrated. His remote-control camera in the rafters of the Astrodome captured Muhammad Ali, his arms raised in victory, walking away from a supine Cleveland Williams during their fight on Nov. 14, 1966. pic.twitter.com/d8AZDLjsjp

Tweets on Cincinnati Union Terminal

The building looked great in the tweet so I looked for more stuff.

Jerry Springer recorded a protest song in 1973 called “Save the Union Terminal” when there were plans to demolish the station. He later served as mayor of Cincinnati. https://t.co/8YoIiYAs2C https://t.co/bmdrdOAopA

Tours of Baltimore's iconic Phoenix Shot Tower have long been limited to the first two floors. But thanks to nearly $1 million in safety and infrastructural improvements by Plano-Coudon, visitors will soon get to make the climb to the top. https://t.co/OoAB4OtoD8
