Laura Ingalls may have thought that way, but not so in the 21st century. In 1906 a nickle bought a lot of candy, and a 12 story building would have been considered a skyscraper. Nowadays a 12 story may be a midrise, and the height for skyscraper status has increased. Wikipedia lists 800ft as the minimum height, I'm being generous with 500.
