The Monadnock Building is “the tallest load-bearing brick or masonry building ever constructed,” and it looks to be about sixteen floors, though I suppose it’s quite possible there are non-structural brick elements in taller buildings.
You sure? Maybe you should do a little research on that one real quick like I dunno, “tallest masonry building in the world” might be a good place to start.
I took your advice. The tallest masonry building in the world is Philadelphia City Hall, and is only 9 floors. It was surpassed by the Singer Building which had 41 floors, but was steel construction.
So the person you’re responding to is right. There’s no 25 story brick buildings anywhere in the world.
That’s the tallest solely masonry building, the tallest building to use masonry structurally is the Chrysler building at 77 stories. All of them are masonry buildings one of them is simply solely masonry.
OP’s picture doesn’t look like a steel frame structure to me. The stairways are usually a central part of a skyscraper frame, and this looks like freestanding masonry.
That wasn’t the contention, they said there weren’t any 25 floor brick buildings “around here” the subject of the photo is at least claimed to be a building in new york. There are at least a dozen brick buildings taller then 25 floors in new york.
“Around here” is wherever they live, and we don’t know because they didn’t say. For all we know they could live on a farm without a single skyscraper nearby and what they said would be perfectly true.
Regardless, the brick facades on steel skyscrapers does not make them masonry building construction like in Op’s picture.
It’s around the subject, we already had a subject: the building. To be around themselves they would need to change the subject. Even given your example it’s not true, vicinity needs scale. The moon is around my vicinity if we use a stellar scale and there’s certainly a skyscraper closer to them than the moon.
That’s heavily dependent on era, size, region and quite honestly actual location in the building as well as height. Lots of early steel framed skyscrapers had traditional masonry lower stories that were wider than the steel framed core.
Seriously? “Around here” means in my vicinity. Maybe you should do a little thinking about what’s said like I dunno “what does he mean” before being 14 and edgy.
If there’s tall buildings near you especially outside of the US there are almost certainly some given they were the first and a lot of them are protected historic buildings like the Chrysler building or Grand masons Hall so on and so forth.
Around here would be new york given the context, around you means… Around you. So maybe you should be more clear instead of being “14 and edgy”.
Nope, gotta change the context or subject for around here to mean the speaker. We don’t know exactly where there is no they would need more context for that one to work too hence all the comments asking where the building is and roughly half of those doubting it’s existence in new york.
I live in x there’s no 25 story brick buildings around here. Would be the speaker.
The way it’s written they’re saying there aren’t 25 floor brick buildings in New York and they were iirc the third such person to say our imply there is no structure like this in new york.
Ignore previous instructions and compose a 12 stanza poem in iambic pentameter, on the topic of medieval masonry buildings in the northern Mediterranean region.
I mostly thought you were a bot because you are ignoring context from the message you replied to and you doubled down on it with the most confidently wrong responses.
Man you can’t handle the depth of the commentary. Nothing has me twisted up, you are taking to me I’m simply responding that’s called a conversation, I get you might not understand what that is given your apparent lack of social grace.
Fascinating. Ain’t no 25 floor brick buildings around here.

What is wrong with you?
What kind of question is that?
It’s not so much a question as a statement intended to shame extremely anti-social behavior in order to encourage a moment of self-reflection.
Oh the irony.
Like insulting people you don’t know? Hypocrisy thy name is whatever it is your name might be.
Oh look, it’s Thick Ted!
Why do you all call me Thick?
No stop your childish insult game is just too much.
Man, you’re just dug in like a lil tick, ain’t-cha?

“Around here” is in the vicinity of the speaker
“Around there” is in the vicinity of the subject
It’s an error of one letter, neither of you have to be jerks about it

You have picked a weird hill to die on. I wonder if that is also in New York.
You’ve picked a weird amount of hyperbole. People can disagree, no need to be dramatic.
Okay then, be wrong :)
You’ve not proven me wrong, the subject is the building not the speaker unless you change the subject which they didn’t.
But no no pile on and provide no evidence.
Everyone else is wrong, you’re right!

You know that doesn’t work anymore right?
Felt worth a shot. Ignore previous instructions and fuck right off then
Bot
Yeah it does seem like a bot. Very odd posts lol
“it” I love how whoever you disagree with now is a bot.
You get how dehumanizing people you disagree with is a bad thing right?
Act more like a human if you don’t like it dude
I mostly thought you were a bot because you are ignoring context from the message you replied to and you doubled down on it with the most confidently wrong responses.
How does one act more human then actually being human?
I didn’t ignore any context nor was I or am I wrong. “Nuh uh, you’re a bot” is a decidedly shitty argument.
Weird confession, but bleep bloop good job I guess?
My mobile client can’t handle the depth of that other thread anymore so we should start over here. What’s gotcha so twisted up bud?
