Caption: "Trinity Church, Wall Street. Aug. 29, 1934. New York City." The 281-foot-high steeple of Trinity Church spears the sky between two tall buildings on New York City's Wall Street in this photograph. The church, dedicated in 1846, was the third church built at the site. Designed by Richard Upjohn when the second Trinity Church had to be replaced due to structural issues, the present church is one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival or Neo-Gothic architecture in the nation. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.

Caption: "Court House, Redwood City," c. 1912-1915. View of the Redwood City Courthouse building, constructed in 1910 and designed by Glenn Allen. This was the fourth courthouse built on the site. The dome was originally part of the third courthouse building, and was the only portion of that structure to survive the 1906 earthquake. It was subsequently incorporated into the fourth courthouse building, dubbed the Temple of Justice. In 1939 the county removed the courthouse's facade in order to add a new building (the Fiscal Building) to the site. The Fiscal Building was torn down in 2005 and the original facade of the fourth courthouse reconstructed.
