World's Tallest Masonry Building

How is it that Philadelphia City Hall and Turin's Mole Antonelliana, two buildings built half a world apart and finished in different decades, both hold the record for the tallest masonry building in the world. Also, they look nothing like each other. How is that possible?

Really? They're the exact same height?
