New York Times Doesn't Know It's Skyscrapers!

In an article on the change of management at the Chelsea Hotel, the New York Times makes the unimaginable blunder of stating that the 12 - yes, twelve - story structure was the tallest building in New York until 1902 (which was then the Flatiron Building was built - which was never the tallest building in New York, btw). This despite the fact that many, many buildings were far taller by then including the thirty story Park Park Row Building built in the late 1890's.

The 12-story, 250-room Chelsea Hotel was originally built in 1883 as Manhattan’s first cooperative apartment. It was the tallest building in New York until 1902, and it became a residential hotel in 1905.
