This gallery is on the same level as the entrance. I was traipsing all over trying to find it.
„High aerial view of midtown Manhattan, New York City. Fairchild Aerial Surveys, July 24, 1951. New York State Archives.“
It’d be amazing to see both these angles in modern days (of course in the other metro thread) 
Madison Sq cluster looked so big back then.
„ Aerial view looking south of Midtown Manhattan. Autumn, 1955.“
„ Aerial view looking southwest of Midtown Manhattan. Summer, 1955.“
„ Midtown Manhattan skyscrapers. View looking northwest from the top of Lincoln Building. Summer, 1955.“
„ Midtown Manhattan skyline looking northwest from the top of Metropolitan Life tower. Summer, 1952. “
This is probably not for everyone. It’s long but has Georgia O’Keeffe paintings of NYC. Lots of background about her life etc.
Amazing collection of photos.
Holy cow, those are amazing. I’ve been looking for shots of the Fox theatre in DTB and I always forget to search the WPA/NYC archives! Thanks for sharing!!
Magical set! Love when you post these!
