City linear park built in Manhattan on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur called the West

7. Temple CourtIt doesnât get better then this. Back in 1880 this amazing building was a busy legal ofïŹce, due to some construction hazards it was
closed and shut for over 100 years. Recently opened and now an epic and trendy hotel. The Temple Court Building and Annex, at
5 Beekman Street, New York City, is a red-brick and terra cotta ofïŹce building in the Queen Anne, neo-Grec, and Renaissance
Revival styles.
8. Times Square BuildingThis building is still standing but sadly covered with advertising panels. I would love to see what survived. The
building, on the site of the Pabst Hotel, was originally completed in 1904 to serve as the new headquarters of The
New York Times, which ofïŹcially moved into the building in January 1905
9. New York World BuildingAn incredible building! It was part of the famous newspaper row along Park Row. The NYC newspaper domination was at itâs full
power during this epic era. The New York World Building was a skyscraper in New York City designed by early skyscraper
specialist George Browne Post and built in 1890 to house the now-defunct newspaper, The New York World. It was razed in 1955.
10. The Gilsey HouseThe Gilsey House was a next generation hotel during the vaudeville days of New York City. It was the ïŹrst hotel in New York to have
a phone in the guest rooms. Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain and Diamond Jim Brady would stay here and chat about world events and
the news of the day. It was constructed from 1869 to 1871 at the cost of $350,000, opening as the Gilsey House Hotel in 1872.
11. The Manhattan BridgeCan you fall in love with a bridge? I sure can. You have experience this iconic structure to truly feel itâs impact. Itâs a architectural
smorgasbord of design beauty. This is one of my most favorite illustrations and my best selling art work. The Manhattan Bridge is a
suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan at Canal Street with Downtown
Brooklyn at the Flatbush Avenue Extension.
12. The Brooklyn BridgeYou canât have New York without an epic bridge to connect to the rest of the world. Such a glorious history associated with the most famous
bridge in the world. The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges of
either type in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River.
13. The Singer
BuildingMy most favorite New York City building is the epic Singer Building. It was the
tallest building in the world in 1908. at Liberty Street and Broadway in Lower
Manhattan's Financial District, was a 47-story ofïŹce building completed in
1908 as the headquarters of the Singer Manufacturing Company.
