You can’t build that stuff out of wood! The forests will be decimated or worse...

Bricks can be fun but there are too many rules for brick.

Monadnock Building
The tallest load-bearing brick building ever constructed...

The walls are like eight FOOT THICK! Looking in from the sidewalk it is a bit different.
Sixteen floors max.

Bever, termite and fire resistant!
Also a very handsome building inside and out.
I like it!
