When completed, at 215 feet (66 m), the Monadnock was the tallest commercial masonry building in the world and, as of 2000^[update], it remained so. (Wiseman 2000, p. 56) The tallest of its type, it is not, however, the tallest masonry building to be found, a distinction that belongs to the stone and marble Philadelphia City Hall, at 541 feet (167 m). (Priwer & Phillips 2009, p. 51) Wiseman, Carter (2000). Twentieth-Century American Architecture: The Buildings and their Makers. New York: Norton. ISBN 978-0-393-32054-1.

The Monadnock used a portal-strut system, which braced the masonry piers with iron girders. This evolved into what would come to be known as the portal system, using solid web plates instead, first used by Holabird & Roche in the Old Colony Building in 1894.
