The '''Ironspire Building''' wasis a large skyscraper built in [[Elendel]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb4|1}} It wasis located between Demoux Promenade and the bank of the 4th 5th Canal, in the 4th Octant, across from the [[Tekiel Tower]].{{book ref|mb4|17}} The Ironspine Building wasis tall enough that even when uncompleted, its top wasis obscured by the [[mist]]s on the rare nights they appeared.
 
The Ironspine Building wasis in a sort-of race with the Tekiel Tower to be the tallest building in Elendel.{{book ref|mb4|1}} The architects would come up with revised blueprints of taller and taller buildings, attempting to outdo one another. Credible rumors said that both the Ironspine Building and the Tekiel Tower would top over fifty stories tall.
 
== Architecture ==
The structure of the building was made up of a lattice of iron beams.
 
The Ironspine also had its own freight dock along a branch off the main canal, with a stationary craincrane there for unloading shipments.{{book ref|mb4|17}} It also contained a large platform that acted as a large hydraulic lever that could bring people and objects down into the tunnel below that [[Edwarn Ladrian]] planned to expand into a subway system. There were a few train cars and some track down there, as well as a wooden building. A foundry capable of smelting aluminum had also been set up there, and the tunnel also served as a storage for a multitude of boxes.
 
== History ==
The building was constructed by members of the [[United Tradeworkers Union]], including [[Brill]]. The workers at the site were unhappy with the way they were being treated by the leaders of the Union and expressed their displeasure to ''[[The Elendel Daily]]''.{{file ref|Elendel_Daily_broadsheet.png|''The Elendel Daily'' Broadsheet}}
 
[[Waxillium Ladrian]] climbed it while it was still under construction after a ball at [[Cett mansion]].{{book ref|mb4|1}} He also planned to lease offices in the Ironspine Building.{{book ref|mb4|3}}
