New York - Day 1

   
 
  From: Mark
The gothic looking building, i believe is the Woolworth Building. "Constructed in 1913, the tower reaches a height of 241,2m (793.5ft). Until the completion of the Bank of Manhattan tower and Chrysler building in 1930, the Woolworth building was the tallest building in the world. The tower has a 3 story stone base, 52 stories clad in terra-cotta and a 3 story roof topped with the crowning pinnacle. An observation deck at the 58th story attracted about 100,000 visitors each year, but it was closed in 1945."
