In considiring the subject of wind-bracing in the following Charter, ist will be Seen That rigid connections between the individual columns themselves and between the columns and the floor -girders, contribute an element of resistance of very considerable value to the structure, and this rigidity of the joints is particulary valuable where no special system of trussing is provided to resist the Wind strains. If complete verticale splices are used, the column are made practically continuous, or a unit from foundation to roof, and failure can only occur by breaking of bending and if such splices are further supplemented by web connections between the column and the girders, the resultant joint Ort assemblage of joints will prove as simple as it is efficient.

â The âTwin Towersâ of the World Trade Center officially open in New York City on âThisDayinHistoryâ 1973. The buildings replaced the Empire State Building as the worldâs tallest building. The towersâ construction ended the Empire State Buildingâs 41-year run as the tallest building in the world, and quickly replaced by Chicagoâs Sears Tower the following year, an indication of the rising trend of super-tall construction. The World Trade Center dramatically altered the New York skyline and the cityscape of Lower Manhattan. Though most of the World Trade Center was occupied by office space, the Top of the World Observation Deck on the South Tower became a popular tourist destination, as did the North Towerâs Windows on the World restaurant, which featured its own wine school. The Twin Towers remained a dominant feature of the cityâs skyline and were recognizable the world over long before they were destroyed in a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.â

From a old architecture book 1901
Manhattanville, Manhattan Street today West 125th Street 1870s
Manhattanville Academy of the sacred Heart.
*Completed just in time for the 1904 opening of New Yorkâs first subway, Broadwayâs Interborough Rapid Transit Viaduct is 365 feet longer than the arched Riverside Drive span. This is due to the widening of Manhattan Valley as it moves east from the Hudson River to the Harlem Plain.
The Academy of the Sacred Hart has long since relocated to Westchester and is known as Manhattanville College, named after the neighborhood. Manhattan College was also once located in Manhattanville but of course now is in the Bronx. Funny that the both of them ended up migrating north. Both are pretty well known in the metro area.

Both of those buildings were incredibly awkward. This had to have been part of the trial period when NY was just figuring out skyscrapers.
