Portland, Oregon is not a very old city. The oldest buildings are only from the 1850's. This is the oldest high-rise, the Wells Fargo Building building, built in 1907. In 1907, a 55m building was still a big deal.

Speaking of 1930s, posting the obvious one
Was built in 1931, specifically to be bigger than the Chrysler building, making it the biggest building in the world until 1972

The Skyscraper (Nebotičnik) in Ljubljana was the tallest building in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia after its completion in 1933.
