42nd Street and Lincoln Building - 1947
Looking west and 42nd Street, New York City, with Lincoln Building in the foreground in 1947. Vintage postcard by Grogan Photo from the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
The Vanderbilt Avenue and the Grand Central Terminal (outside this photo) are to the right. The building in the bottom (shown only the roof), on the site of the old Belmont Hotel, was replaced by the 118 Park Avenue, built in 1981.
The 55-story Lincoln Building (now One Grand Central Place) at 60 East 42nd Street was completed in 1930. It was designed by architect Kenneth Norton of James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter Jr., in the neo-Gothic style.
