Another Trip to the World Building

I do this evening is yet another celebrity-A representative from the series of Gone Buildings of New York City pay a visit. Michal Juroška was so kind and sent me the pictures made from his inexhaustible source available.

The picture above is the scenery on Park Row, shortly after completion of the World Building, it is dated 1891st Bottom left the New Yorker, Town Hall left behind the brand new World Building, then tallest office building in the city and across the globe in the middle of the building of the Sun (small, middle left) and the Tribune Building (large, middle right) . On the right extended to the new building a few floors of the building of the New York Times. A good 10 years later the company moved to Longacre Square, accompanied by a renaming of the square.

image number 2 was 6 years later in 1897, the perspective is now more oriented to the birds, while in 1891 the view was still on loan to the frogs from the pond at the City Hall Park . At the Newspaper Row has not really changed much, only the Times Building has been given on the back of a neighbor who is still a good head taller.

Addendum:..

"Hi skull," is a head taller "neighbor to the American Tract Society Picture 2 Building, built in 1894-96, it is one of the few still existing skyscrapers of the 19th century is today Park Place Tower, and it now houses the renovation 10 years ago luxury apartments. Greetings Dirk "(Dirk Stichweh to comment) "

A wonderful documentation of the New York skyline in 1903 we see here. The world building is quite far to the left outside. And by the way this photograph also answered some of those questions that the 1900 Skyline had left open in the last week.

We return to the Park Row and City Hall Park in 1908, the perspective has now been amended so that the viewer now than at 90 degrees north to the last location (1897) stands.

The view from the northwest to the world building is rather unusual and reveals a relatively simple design at the north facing side of the building. In the middle the old City Hall Post Office and right, no Woolworth Building. Yet. Care must also on the Tribune Building, which quietly a few Floors scored separately. We would be additional.

sees 1913 the City Hall Park will have something different from controls on the right side and now the brand-new Woolworth Building as the tallest building in the area.

Eventually, it was the owner of the Tribune probably too colorful, that Mr. Pulitzer always from his office in the dome of the World Building looking down on him. Therefore, he decided in the context of the turn of the century, the Tribune Building hope to extend a story in the sky and show the publisher of the New York World, where the rubber meets the road. So hastily to the higher towers down and photographed the rose involuntarily lowered competitors on the dome. Grapeshot! Exact date not known, unfortunately.
