Grand Central New York
This majestic beaux-arts style building is the southern terminus of the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem, Hudson and New Haven Lines, serving the northern parts of the New York metropolitan area.

It was opened in 1913 being built by The New York Central Railroad; while also serving the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroads.

It has 44 underground platforms with 67 tracks, being the largest of its kind in the world.

Architects: Warren&Warren and Reed&Stem

Builder: John Pierce Company.





The Capitol Theatre was located at 1645 Broadway, north of Times Square, New York City. It was designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb, and had a seating capacity of 5,230. It opened October 24, 1919.

Sadly it was demolished in 1968 to make space for an ugly and generic glass tower - Paramount Plaza.

The first movie to premier here was United Artists "His Majesty, the American". Also here was the New York premiere of the "Wizard of Oz" and the great Jerry Lewis started his first job, as an usher. The last premiere was "2001: A Space Odyssey", April 3, 1968, while the last live performance was on September 16, 1968, an all-star benefit featuring Bob Hope and Johnny Carson.






80 Maiden Lane Building, New York
This beautiful historical, neoclassical skyscraper is a landmark on the Maiden Lane in New York. The 26 story (96m) building was opened in 1912, but sadly during the renovations in 2015 the interior was gutted.

Architect: D. H. Burnham & Company

Builder: Thompson-Starrett Company





April 29, 1952 Lever House














Aeolian Hall, New York
This 18-story building sits on 42nd St. NY. A lovely 1912 neoclassical tower that once contained the 1,100-seat Aeolian Hall (1912–27). The building atop the concert hall was the hq of the Aeolian Company, which manufactured pianos and other musical instruments.

Architects: Warren & Wetmore

Builder: George A. Fuller Company

The Knickerbocker laundry building in Long Island, N.Y. in 1936
This is one fantastic art deco building. Designed by Irving M. Fenichel this has to be the best looking laundry building in history.

Starting with 1951 Manhattan resumed its construction boom, interrupted by WW2, with 26 office buildings, most of them over 20 stories high. One of them, 460 Park Avenue was finished in 1954. What's impressive about this building is the fact that in only one day the entire aluminum facade was done.
