The Runaway Skyscraper

by

Murray Leinster


Murray Leinster is a pseudonym for William Fitzgerald Jenkins. This novella was first published in Argosy on 22 February 1919. This is from the original Argosy printing. This is the first published work by Will Jenkins and it has been reprinted many times.

It's about a Manhattan skyscraper that slips back in time and the engineer who returns it to modern (1919) New York.
