- jazzyjackson 5y agoThe monadnock building in Chicago [0] partially answers your question: “ The Monadnock's final height was calculated to be the highest economically viable for a load-bearing wall design, requiring walls 6 feet (1.8 m) thick at the bottom and 18 inches (46 cm) thick at the top. Greater height would have required walls of such thickness that they would have reduced the rentable space too greatly.” [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monadnock_Building https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monadnock_Building
