New York Crystal Palace
The view from the top. In what is now Bryant Park, the Crystal Palace is seen at right, the Croton Reservoir at left.
„ There would be another amazing feat of engineering at the fair, the Latting Observatory across 42nd Street from the Crystal Palace. Waring Latting envisioned a soaring tower–the highest structure in the city–from which fair visitors would get magnificent views of Staten Island, New Jersey and Long Island. Designed by architect William Naugle, it would rise 315 feet, with landings at three levels. The 75-foot square base tapered to about 8 feet at the pinnacle. A contemporary pamphlet claimed that 2,000 people could “be accommodated at one time on its various landings.”
