One Liberty Place under construction July 1987
The same perspective in June 1988, taken by my friend Mark Conti. If you look above 1601 Market Street you can see the topped out core of the G. Fred DiBona Jr. Building/Independence Blue Cross Tower and the top floors before the construction of the angled crown
The same perspective sometime between 1999 and 2006. Based on the weathering on top of the Independence Blue Cross Tower, possibly early 2000’s
Love this building -
Hey, super late here, but thank you to whoever put the Hartford renders in.

I’m not sure where to put this.
Starts at 16 minutes into the video it mainly focuses on interiors. It’s deep dive around 90 minutes long.
At the time this photo was taken, the topping-out ceremony was being celebrated at the Stimmerhaus (nowadays https://www.seydel1847.de/epages/Seydel1847.sf/en_US/?ViewObjectID=8246&Currency=EUR ) in Sachsenberg Georgenthal. The photo is dated October 1956; the old building next door was demolished a few years ago.

There are some very interesting older books about the construction of Frankfurt’s skyscrapers.
LeMessurier, fantastic work. I seriously wished that the Bank of the Southwest Tower was built with his unique structural engineering. Eight thick columns of a mixture of steel and concrete would support the 82-story structure, along with a unique crown shaped by a steel structure shaping a modern-like steeple. I’m sure true modern architects can make it happen, but it won’t. I’m sure that (still) parking lot will be filled by a different future building sometime in my life
Where can one view the images?
Are there more of these?
Very nice.
