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.

Título:
NYC, Lower Manhattan Skyline, 1909
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Vista desde el norte con la Terminal Hudson (derecha), el edificio Singer (centro) y el edificio City Investing (en el medio). El edificio Singer, en Liberty Street y Broadway, en el distrito financiero del Bajo Manhattan, era un edificio de oficinas de 47 pisos terminado en 1908 como sede de la Singer Manufacturing Company. El edificio fue encargado por Frederick Bourne, quien contrató al arquitecto Ernest Flagg, uno de los primeros exponentes del estilo arquitectónico Beaux-Arts. La base de 12 pisos del edificio ocupaba toda la fachada de una manzana, mientras que la torre que estaba encima era relativamente estrecha. Los pisos de la torre eran cuadrados de solo 65 pies de lado. Fue demolido en 1968, junto con el edificio City Investing adyacente, y ahora es el sitio de 1 Liberty Plaza. Cuando fue demolido, era el edificio más alto que se había demolido y sigue siendo el tercer edificio más alto que se ha destruido (después de las torres del World Trade Center) y el más alto que ha sido demolido a propósito por su propietario. Fotografiado por Irving Underhill, 1909
