I don't think the Crystal Palace belongs here. Loads of buildings are wide (or long) as heck; it's not impressive. I mean one of the largest buildings in the world is a dang grocery warehouse/terminal in Sipoo. Not exactly a wonder of the world. (Yeah OK the Crystal Palace was a lot prettier... still.)
