I always liked the irony in that they depicted the Commercial Cable Building as being overgrown and huge in the future but it was one of the first buildings to come down for a modern building downtown

It’s pics like these arial shots that make me wish NY could have had 50 more years of 1880-1930 architecture.
There were way to many 1-4 story tenement type houses in midtown (and city wide) that were always gonna be redeveloped.
Most of the nicer buildings in these pics are still around. They are just dwarfed by the ugly post war glass boxes.

These are spectacular. Always hurts to see old Penn. But man love how built up the city was even then.
