New York circa 1907. "Singer Building under construction." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.

[Because it's really tall. - Dave]
Also under construction in this view is the City Investing Building (the white building on the left) of Francis H. Kimball.

Kimball was also the designer of the United States Realty Building (1906-1907), seen at the far right in this view. What a fantastic picture, Dave!
