From the great age of Filedrawer Skyscrapers: the 1914 tower.

At the time, buildings in this style were deplored for their bulk, for the way they cast shadows for blocks. The overwhelming size of an almost identical structure in New York - the Equitable Building - led to zoning restrictions that changed the style of skyscrapers in every American city.

Identical in design, not size, incidentally. The Equitable could have eaten this building as a mid-morning snack.
