Very nice update! More coming soon!

Give me a few moments to put some more up. While you wait, read this:

New York is the concentrate of art and commerce and sport and religion and entertainment and finance, bringing to a single compact arena the gladiator, the evangelist, the promoter, the actor, the trader and the merchant. It carries on its lapel the unexpungeable odor of the long past, so that no matter where you sit in New York you feel the vibrations of great times and tall deeds, of queer people and events and undertakings.

New York is nothing like Paris; it is nothing like London; and it is not Spokane multiplied by sixty, or Detroit multiplied by four. It is by all odds the loftiest of cities.

-- E. B. White, This Is New York

Novelist and essayist E. B. White wrote the words above more than 50 years ago, but his characterization of New York remains accurate today. And though the grandeur and importance of New York has not changed, the city is in a constant state of flux. Restaurants and nightclubs become trendy overnight, and then die under the weight of their own popularity. (Yogi Berra had the perfect comment for that very phenomenon: "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.") Broadway shows, exercise fads, city politics, and even neighborhoods are all subject to the same Big Apple fickleness.

But within this ebb and flow lies the answer to why we New Yorkers persist in loving our city so much, despite the high rents, the noise, the crowds, the cab drivers who don't know Lincoln Center from the Lower East Side, and the more stark realities of high-security-alert days and living in the shadow of great tragedy. Nowhere else is the challenge so tough, the pace so relentless, the stimuli so ever-changing and insistent -- and the payoff so rewarding. It is why we go on; it is why we proudly persist in living our vibrant lives here.

Come witness New York's astonishing resilience for yourself -- it's reason enough to visit.

Here comes my next update!

And by the way, I have found hundreds of more photos of old New York. This thread will stretch to over 15 pages!

Waiting for the next page!

Why doesn't anyone else leave comments? This pisses me off trying to get the pages going so I can post more photos. C'mon people, contribute! I post all of these photos, the least you can do after viewing them is begin a discussion on them and their content.

These are some of the greatest nyc shot ive ever seen. . . from the overturned warship to the construction of the Chrysler building, and so on.

Bravo!

Thank you for posting your comment! There are many more photos on the way to keep you entertained.

Here's a pic of St Patrick's Cathedral in 1907 when it was the tallest at the time until skyscrapers started to come up and shadow it.

Some fantastic additions!

After seeing pictures like this it's impossible not to cry.I want Singer and the other building back :cry:³

OH MY GOD PHOBOS...........THAT IS THE BEST SHOT EVER SHOWN ON SKYSCRAPER CITY. OH MY DEAR LORD.......

More photos coming soon!

I must comment on that shot again. I have never said a photos so large and detailed of old New York as the one posted by Phobos, above. It is just a beautiful shot.

And as I have said before, more New York photos coming up very quickly. Just waiting for the turn of the page, which should be very soon.

:)

the interior of the Singer Building in 1967 before the demolition :

seeing those pictures, I think today they could have changed the Singer Building into a valuable residential complex. The floorplates were very small for an efficient officebuilding but imagine an expensive loft on every floor instead. That would be multi-million dollar real estate these days :nuts: Too bad there was no market for those things in 1967.

Thanks for the compliments GVNY!
That is really a fantastic shot that shows how NYC was unique in comparison with other cities and I'm glad to know you enjoyed the picture as much as I did.

I don't know where you are getting those shots, but keep posting them! They are beautiful, and sad.

I enjoyed a lot these last set of photos GVNY!
The Savoy-Plaza fitted so well in the middle of the other 2 buildings.What a shame the f****** GM decided to build that white box on its place.

Anybody can tell me why Singer Building was destroyed? So sad that landmarks like that are gone, losses in Europe, cause WWs, are more understandable to me. MetLife and Woolworth are just tiny younger and still in good shape, so what the hell happend to the Singer? The old skyline was magnificent anyway.

The Singer Building was destroyed, sadly, because of the small amount of floor space each story contained.

More photos coming soon.

After looking at all of these pics...there really are no words to describe the feelings they evoke. WOW!

Here is a shot of the Manhattanville area at 135th St with the IRT line being constructed in 1901.

Oh my god. That is even better than your other find. New York is just astonishing.

More photos very soon. Waiting for page 16.

Damn, still no page 16. I must wait. So I will write rambling sentences that will waste space and get us to the following page!

I must say, the most unfortunate thing I have noticed about New York today, is that she has lost her working class, industrial soul. It is just gone. That forever saddens me.

i love that thread!!!

New York in 1883.This picture came form an add from Equitable that showed the location of its headquarters,but I couldn't find the building yet :colgate:

http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/6255/3b51234u8nz.jpg

It must certainly be their old headquarters. Because the famous Equitable Building (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/3cities/large/1019.jpg) we all know was not built at the time.

Nice collection added, makes me wonder how it would've been like living in those times during the construction boom.

In the pic BigMac posted, 40 Wall looks weird for some reason, anyone else agree?

I thought the roof looked as if she was angled differently, but now that I look back, I think she looks fine.

As you can see with these past sets of photographs, I have gone into the outer boroughs as well as Manhattan. If you would like me to stick with the main area of the city and outside areas like Brooklyn, Queens, and Bronx, please let me know.

Those two shots from the Empire State in post #326 are knockouts. Was the first one already backwards or did you flip it to entertain us?

The RCA/GE Building must be brand new... no sign of Triborough Bridge construction, so must be 1933 or conceivably 1934?

Does anyone know the name of the tall building in the right hand corner in the first photo of Buse`s post? Ive only ever seen a few pics of this one but have always wondered what it was, its bound to have been demolished by now though!

I think it is 60 Wall Street, (1 (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=131018)), (2 (http://www.skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=26751)), demolished in 1977 and replaced by this one (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=114109).

If I am correct then the building was build for the Cities Service Company, just as the neigbouring skyscraper at 70 pine street (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=114432). The buildings used to be connected, so that 70 pine street (American International) was known as the 60 Wall Tower.

Thanks for that Buse, I think u r right, I`ve got a nice 10 by 8 1930`s photo of New York on my wall and this building is right in the middle of it, and it always intrigued me to find out what it was, information about older buildings in New York can be surprisingly easy to find if u know how or spend ages lookin for it, this building however I could never find anything, and that made me want to find it even more lol. I did think it had probably been knocked down for the Morgan just simply because of its position. 1977 it was demolished, the year I was born. lol. Anyway thanks and great photos 2.

Why is there a swastika on that thing???

very interesting thread indeed !!! :)

Do you prefer the Manhattan skyline pre-WWII or how it is today?

Today, personally. More filled in, more diverse, much larger and more impressive overall.

I've noticed that the mooring mast's fins are darker in old photos. What gives?

light polarisation by metal ? :?

http://www.oranga.com/pics4/NYC304.jpg

I prefer how it used to be, they were more decorative, and pretty they didn`t all look like soleless glass boxes.

I agree with you ^. The skyline was really something unique back then, but really it is now. No skyline in the world can live up to it, in my opinion it will always be #1. :)

My apologies for my absence. Time is short with me these days. Updates coming very soon.

And the skyline was much better pre-war (And after the war too, for about a decade.)

What's that smokestack-looking thing blocking our view of the east face of 40 Wall St in the pic above? I don't remember that in other pics.

My guess is that the 3rd Ave El was possibly the longest out of all of them.

Can you guess where the first two pictures were taken? :D

What the hell happened here? :?

It almost looks like a plane crashed into those buildings!

Here is the history (http://www.planecrashinfo.com/w601216.htm) of that horrendous plane crash.

And some nice additions, guys. I will be uploading some more photographs soon. It will just ooze the aura of New York City.

Here is the history (http://www.planecrashinfo.com/w601216.htm) of that horrendous plane crash.
Wow, scary!

Good thing they didn't have 747's yet then! :runaway:

That plane crash in Park Slope is pretty similar to one that was in Belle Harbor not to long after 9/11.

A book you might be interested in Rise Of The New York Skyscraper 1865-1913, S.Landau and C. Condit, if I had a scanner there would be about 50 pics here.

New York Public Library Digital Gallery.....................wow so many photos!

http://www.lifethoughts.com/photos/images/488.jpg

I liked the skyline back then better........the gothic & art deco masterpieces were not hidden behind the hastily clad monoliths of the 70's and 80's......

Funny thing is, even though NY's skyline has changed a lot over the decades, you still know it's New York. Many other cities look totally unrecognizable when you look at pictures of them from 75 years ago.

New York in the 30's by Bernice Abbott is also a good book with lots of great pictures of New York's older buildings, bridges, landmarks and skyscrapers. I'm not sure if it's still in print.

ok i think ive got it so lets see;

I love you Charlie for this picture :lovethem:
Please post more!!! :drool:

Let me introduce you to the World's Tower Building, a less known skyscraper. Built in 1913 ( same as Woolworth Building ) in a neo-gothic design ( same as the Woolworth Building ) this 335ft building has 30 stories and was considered to be the tallest building in the world to be built on such a narrow site. Its rather nice as well......

New York City buildings in the early 20th century were the pinnacle of architectural design.

I agree with you on that GVNY, they dont make them like they used to.

The Lefcourt Colonial Building ( 45 stories and 538ft ) was built in 1930, to the right is the Lincoln Building ( for some reason i was thought this was the Chanin building ) standing at 673ft, its 55 stories feature massive arched windows and can be found in midtown.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Building was built in 1909 at 700ft and took over the Singer Building as the worlds tallest, it remained so until the Woolworth building in 1913. It has 50 stories and when built was heavily decorative most of which was lost when it was remodled in the 1960s, idiots!

Bank of Manhattan Trust Building or 40 Wall Street. 927 ft high, has 72 stories, was briefly the worlds tallest building when completed in 1930 before the Chrysler Building was finished the same year, in a race to see who could have the tallest building in the world. Now called Trump Building.

It used to look like that?! I think I'm going to be SICK. The landmark preservation commitee should force the owners to restore it.

What a thread this is! A really enjoyed watching all those pictures. NYC fans should watch the new King Kong movie for that vintage New York City feeling.
