One better. My wife's office was in the Monadnock Building in Chicago
for a few years. It was built in 1893, and her half of the building was
all brick. Loadbearing brick. 17 stories of brick. A big, thick,
cable- and wireless-hostile pile of brick. Exterior walls are six feet
thick at the base, and still 3 feet thick by her floor. Interior walls
are brick, and loadbearing. (Thank Ghu they subdivided the offices
from the original spaces--at least *some* of the walls inside the office
were plasterboard.)
I hated working on that network.
