NYC, Lower Manhattan Skyline, 1909

View from the north with the Hudson Terminal (right), Singer Building (middle) and City Investing Building (between). The Singer Building at Liberty Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan's Financial District, was a 47-story office building completed in 1908 as the headquarters of the Singer Manufacturing Company. The building was commissioned by Frederick Bourne, who hired architect Ernest Flagg, an early exponent of the Beaux-Arts architectural style. The 12 story base of the building filled an entire block front, while the tower above was relatively narrow. The tower floors were squares only 65 feet on a side. It was demolished in 1968, together with the adjacent City Investing Building, and is now the site of 1 Liberty Plaza. When it was demolished, it was the tallest building ever to be demolished, and is still the third-tallest building ever to be destroyed (after the World Trade Center towers) and the tallest to be purposely demolished by its owner. Photographed by Irving Underhill, 1909.
