Below: The Flat
Iron Building, originally the Fuller Building, was completed in 1902
at 20 stories high and considered the city's first skyscraper because
it was the first building to have a steel skeleton. It was added to
the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and designated a National
Historic Landmark in 1989. |

Below: Manhattan
Times Square at the junction of Broadway and 7th Avenue, Brightly lit
by billboards and advertisements. It is a busy pedestrian area, and
formerly known as Longacre Square. It functions as a town square, but
is not geometrically a square. It is more like the shape of a bow tie
with two Triangles jutting north and south from 45th Street. The southern
triangle has no name, but the northern triangle is Duffy Square. |

Below; Fritz
Koenig's "Sphere for Plaza Fountain" became one of the city's
most significant memorials to the nearly 3,000 people who lost their
lives on 9-11. The sculpture is 25 feet tall and weighs 45,000 pounds.
It was placed beneath the twin towers in 1968. Somehow it did not get
destroyed when the terrorist attacked on 9/11/2001. It was moved to
the park shown below. It is a symbol of world peace. |
