Temple Court It doesn’t get better then this. Back in 1880 this amazing building was a busy legal office, due to some construction hazards it was closed and shut for over 100 years. Recently opened and now an epic and trendy hotel. The Temple Court Building and Annex, at

5 Beekman Street, New York City, is a red-brick and terra cotta office building in the Queen Anne, neo-Grec, and Renaissance Revival styles.

Times Square BuildingThis building is still standing but sadly covered with advertising panels. I would love to see what survived. The

building, on the site of the Pabst Hotel, was originally completed in 1904 to serve as the new headquarters of The New York Times, which officially moved into the building in January 1905

power during this epic era. The New York World Building was a skyscraper in New York City designed by early skyscraper specialist George Browne Post and built in 1890 to house the now-defunct newspaper, The New York World. It was razed in 1955.

The Manhattan BridgeCan you fall in love with a bridge? I sure can. You have experience this iconic structure to truly feel it’s impact. It’s a architectural

smorgasbord of design beauty. This is one of my most favorite illustrations and my best selling art work. The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan at Canal Street with Downtown

Brooklyn at the Flatbush Avenue Extension.

The Brooklyn BridgeYou can’t have New York without an epic bridge to connect to the rest of the world. Such a glorious history associated with the most famous

bridge in the world. The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges of either type in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River.
