Manhattan: Battery Park.

1916

Battery Park: A northward view from the Sea Wall showing citizens enjoying a respite from the summer heat. Undergoing reconstruction is the Washington Bldg. (No. 1 Broadway). Beyond same is the Woolworth Bldg. silhouette with the Equitable roof and the Bankers Trust pyramid opposite. The latter is overshadowing the Standard Oil Buildings and the U.S. Custom House.
