Tall Pauls: 1901
Manhattan circa 1901. "St. Paul's Chapel and St. Paul Building -- Vesey Street and Broadway, New York." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Photographic Company. View full size.
Skinny is as skinny does
The St. Paul Building was an anticipation of today's skinny skyscrapers, the reductio ad absurdum of New York's tall-is-better-than-wide thinking.
How do you rest in peace
in a city that never sleeps?
If I'm counting fence sections correctly, the building with Lofts To Let is still there; the three-bay Italianate with a parking garage entrance. None of the buildings on the right are still there. But the sliver of the building at far left is also still standing.
[Not to mention the Park Row Building, a very early contender for world's tallest. - Dave]
