Jack Reilly, intrepid photographer, precariously perches on the 72nd floor of the 74-story Bank of Manhattan tower (then the world's tallest building), which was under construction, November 13, 1929. In the distance, the tallest structure is the Woolworth Building.

Woolworth Building, designed by the amazing Cass Gilbert. From 1913 to 1930, it was the tallest building in the world. I wish they still made buildings like this. New York, New York.

Woolworth building through the Municipal Arch. This view is more or less preserved today, so if you’re ever near City Hall you should check it out.

I’m not doing image IDs of all of them, but they’re just various pictures of the Woolworth building. Most of the façade but one of the pinnacle and one of the lobby. 
We never should have allowed skyscrapers to become twinks

The area around City Hall has changed a lot since this time, the park has been reconfigured a number of times, the large post office at the south end has since been demolished, as was much of Park Row to the east. This postcard is looking south.
