NYC - Bank of New York Building
Made by wallyg
The Bank of New York Building (48 Wall Street, center) was built in 1927-1929. The second bank in the independent United States and the first in NYC, the Bank of New York and Trust Company was founded in 1784. The bank occupied the same plot for two hundred years, from 1798 to 1998. The 32-story building is clad in limestone and features multiple setbacks that double as open-air terraces as well as Colonial style elements, such as the flanking thatched-roofed setbacks and the top in the form of a small temple, crowned with a copper eagle at 156.5 m. The three-storey base is clad in rusticated limestone. The 29,700 m² of space within the building has been modernized and remodelled, whereas the original banking halls on the first and second floors have retained their historic styling. The first two floors are connected by an elliptical entrance lobby and all three have ample marble decor. The interior features murals were made by J. Monroe Hewlett in 1929, depicting commercial and banking themes. The bank left the building for 1 Wall Street in 1997. On the right, stands . On the left, stands 60 Wall Street.
Trinity
Made by Linus Gelber
Just a few years ago, the gorgeous Gothic Revival Trinity Church was almost pure black with the accumulated grime of years. It's much prettier these days, though I kind of miss the brooding atmosphere of the old Black Church. The floodlight batteries that make up the Tribute in Light are a few blocks away. When I first set up my tripod the low cloud cover makes dramatic splashes of white above the spire, and the sky clears quickly as I shoot. This photo has been spotted as high as #21 in the Flickr daily Interestingness charts.
911 Observance (Sep 11, 2007 - 6 Years)
Made by manohard
11 pictures of New York City. It was hard to concentrate on work (I work right next to World Trade Center) hearing those names read. The list went on and on ... I don't know why they moved lights to south. Buildings were actually stood 6-7 blocks to the left.
US Custom House 3
Made by Pro-Zak
Inside the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, downtown Manhattan (Bowling Green). I shot a few different angles of this awesome ceiling w/murals, but I think this one came out best.
