The eifel tower is 320.75 m and the space needle is only 184m.\n\nSo the eifel tower is taller

The largest building in North America is also the largest building in the world.  It's owned by Boeing aircraft, and is located in Everett, Washington.  It encloses 472 million cubic feet (13.3 million cubic meters) of space.

It depends on your parameters.  The tallest building in the world is the Mars drilling platform which is over 3000 ft tall including underwater structures.  The Sears tower has the tallest antenna, while the CN Tower in Toronto is the tallest freestanding structure on land.  The Taipei 101 has the highest occupied floor, however.  The Burj Dubai (under construction) will be the tallest building by far when it's completed, though.

The Sears Tower. The tower has 108 stories, for a grand total of 1,450 feet. It is 1,700 feet tall if you want to count the antennas on the roof.

At around half the height of the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramid in Egypt was the world’s tallest building for over 4,000 years. An engineering feat of magnificent scale and astonishing precision, its four triangular sides rise at an angle of 51.5 degrees. By each side of the pyramid meets at the apex – 146.5m above its perfectly level base – they deviate by just half a metre.\n\n An amazing 2.3 million blocks, weighing between two and 70 tons, were all hand-carved to create the structure.

The Eiffel Tower was built for the International Exhibition of Paris of 1889 commemorating the centenary of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 proposals submitted in a design competition, Gustave Eiffel's was unanimously chosen. However it was not accepted by all at first, and a petition of 300 names - including those of Maupassant, Emile Zola, Charles Garnier (architect of the Opéra Garnier), and Dumas the Younger - protested its construction.\n\nAt 300 meters (320.75 m including antenna), and 7,000 tons, it was the world's tallest building until 1930. Other statistics include:\n\n 2.5 million rivets \n\n 300 steel workers, and 2 years (1887-1889) to construct it. \n\n Sway of at most 12 cm in high winds. \n\n Height varies up to 15 cm depending on temperature. \n\n 15,000 iron pieces (excluding rivets). 40 tons of paint. 1652 steps to the top. \n\nThe tower was almost torn down in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna - used for telegraphy at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio (since 1918), and French television (since 1957) have also made use of its stature.\n \n \n\nDuring its lifetime, the Eiffel Tower has also witnessed a few strange scenes, including being scaled by a mountaineer in 1954, and parachuted off of in 1984 by two Englishmen. In 1923 a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level. Some accounts say he rode down the stairs, other accounts suggest the exterior of one of the tower's four legs which slope outward.

The Sears Tower is a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. Commissioned by Sears, Roebuck and Company, it was designed by chief architect Bruce Graham and structural Engineer Fazlur Khan of Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill. The designs for the Sears Tower is of nine steel unit tubes. The Sears Tower was the first building for which this design was used. Construction commenced in August 1970, and reached its maximum height on May 4, 1973. When completed, the Sears Tower had overtaken the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City as the world's tallest building. It was originally said to have 110 stories but this included the elevator penthouse and its roof; by normal counting methods it has 108. The height of the roof is 1,450 feet and 7 inches (442 m) measured from the east entrance. The total height of the structure including the two television antennas on top added in February 1982 was 1,707 feet (520 m), the western antenna was later extended to 1,729 feet (527 m) on June 5, 2000 to improve reception of local CBS station WBBM. In the process it outstripped the height of the antenna on 1 World Trade Center. The Sears Tower also has the most total floor space of any building in the U.S. next to The Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia. One story black bands appear around 30th-32nd, 64th-65th, 88th-89th, and 106th-107th floors. These allow ventilation for the service equipment on those floors and to obscure diagonal "X" bracing which Sears Roebuck did not want to be visible.

She was at that time 2 meters tall. She would return to The Hague every year until she died of Cancer at age 17 in 1633. At that moment she was 2m55 tall.

Currently it is Taiwan, but when the new tower in Dubai is finished it will be taller.

Yes. I certainly would because it is an engineering wonder. So are the arches in St. Louis, the Space Needle in Seattle, etc.

The 'Millau Viaduct' (French: le Viaduc de Millau) is a cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France. Designed by French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux in collaboration with British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, with one pier's summit at 343 metres (1,125 ft)—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 38 m (125 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building. It was formally opened on 14 December 2004 and opened to traffic two days later.

How bout the top of the tram ?

No straight answer to this one. It depends 'exactly' what you define as a building, and whether you count masts and aerials that are on the top blah blah blah.\nHave a look here though for more information::
