1916; 1925

Manhattan: 5th Avenue - 56th Street (West)

Fifth Ave. (left) west side, south from West 57th (right) to 56th Streets, showing prominently at the S.W. corner of the first point, the Whitney Building, which is numbered, 2 West 57th Street. Note that the buildings on the left have been altered. Prior to 1916, the Whitney structure will go through a similar process and slightly later (prior to 1925) will be demolished in conjunction with the adjoining Fifth Ave building to become the present (1937) site of the 25-story Heckscher Building, No. 728-34 Fifth Ave. Between 1910-1916.
