Someone on this forum once stated that the Fox Building was originally supposed to be 17 stories, instead of the current 10... but due to a steel strike, they topped it off at only 10 stories.
Well that must be an urban legend, because I found an architectural drawing of the building from the year before it was built in 1928, that only shows 10 stories.

Might have been me. Saw the blueprints years ago. [[Forbes had them.) Never heard the steel strike. Read long ago that it was a financial decision. Not legend.
