Looks like it may have been a mistranslation of sorts with a 5-0 ft wall

Wikipedia has the 50 meters and cites an article from 2006 for it:

Wanted to say maybe 50 feet but since I never measured with feet I was not confident enough.

The building stories are a good reference, they will be close enough to 10-11 feet most of the time.

Since can not bee sure about the floor standard I would say also between 20 to 25 at most.

Yeah, sounds about right. 50 feet = 15 meters.
