Fascinating. Ain't no 25 floor brick buildings around here.

The Monadnock Building is "the tallest load-bearing brick or masonry building ever constructed," and it looks to be about sixteen floors, though I suppose it's quite possible there are non-structural brick elements in taller buildings.

This photo was taken on the 25th floor of the building

Edit, lots of bricks, the building is steel frame clad in brick and terracotta
