In this view of the Chase National Bank Building from 40 Wall Street, we get rare angle of the Mutual Life Building (now One Chase Plaza) and the 1888 section of the building that was normally in shadow.
Lower Manhattan’s Financial District old skyscrapers from the Cities Service Building looking west in 1938. At left is the Equitable Building (Ernest Graham, 1915) and the 48-story Singer tower (Ernest Flagg, 1908) are visible at center, at background with the Hudson River docks behind it.
