Gotta agree. It shows some really important little details most pictures leave out too, like the littler buildings getting stripped down and the piers being destroyed.

The CRRNJ Ferry Terminal, 9/2/1964. Notice the Home Insurance Plaza tower under construction behind the Singer Building, as well as a disgusting scrappy abomination to the left of the Ferry Building.

Interior pictures of the Hudson Terminal from their Annual Reports
Rendering of the renovated Hudson Terminals circa 1939: the Church Street fronts were remodeled when the El was removed
The ramps out of the concourse
1940s aerial, undated. The Manhattan Life Building has no crown, and the Singer has a flagpole, so this is between 1941 and 1946.
The CNJ Ferry Terminal at the foot of Liberty Street
Ditto. Notice part of the half demolished West Shore Railroad terminal next to the CNJ one

Circa 1964, the interior and waiting room of the Terminal
