Liberty Tower and the Syndicate Building, 1956-1958
Undated LPC photo of Chase, 1977-1981. Notice 52 Wall Street, and a patch on the Cities Service Building where the skybridge used to be

Funny to see 57th with an active street scene as opposed to the vacant lot, empty retail dump that it is today!

Wall Street in July 1981: 52 Wall Street demolition prep can be seen at top right
Same spot 3 years later - 52 Wall Street is gone as is the Orient Building on the left
Why can’t we have this? It looks like the Acropolis in Lower Manhattan.
Pretty much the people to blame are the people who thought tearing it down in the 80s for an oversized version of the Citicorp Center was an economically viable and possible idea

All photos were taken in November 1932 when the German cruiser Karlsruhe was traveling abroad.
