Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The McMahon Building, better known as the world’s littlest skyscraper, is a building located at 701 LaSalle Street (on the corner of Seventh and LaSalle Streets) in downtown Wichita Falls, Texas. This late Neoclassical style red brick and cast stone structure is 40 ft (12 m) tall, and its exterior dimensions are 18 ft (5.5 m) deep and 10 ft (3.0 m) wide. Its interior dimensions are approximately 12 ft (3.7 m) by 9 ft (2.7 m) (108 sq ft (10.0 m2)). Steep, narrow, internal stairways leading to the upper floors occupy roughly 25 percent of the interior area. The result of a fraudulent investment scheme by a confidence man, the McMahon Building was a source of great embarrassment to the city and its residents after its completion in 1919. During the 1920s, the McMahon Building was featured in Robert Ripley's Ripley's Believe It or Not! syndicated column as "the world's littlest skyscraper," a sobriquet that has stuck with the building ever since.
