SkyscraperPage ID

SkyscraperPage numbers every building in its database, and this field holds that number. The site is built around drawn elevations at one common scale, which is what lets it put towers from different cities into a single comparable diagram.

The number belongs to the building record, so a building appears once even where the site carries several drawings and photographs of it.

SKYDB holds 168,480 of these numbers, which makes it the most widespread external building key in the database. The link to the page itself is stored separately as a weblink.
