New York Skyline in 1964
Skyline of Lower Manhattan from the Bay. Man in foreground looking towards Battery Park, New York City. Hudson River is to the left. The 40 Wall Street was the tallest building in the world for about two months, when it was surpassed by Chrysler Building. Woolworth Building and Singer Building were also the tallest building in the world for some time, in the early 20th century.
