Caption: "Municipal Bldg. N.Y." c. 1925. The statue Civic Virtue Triumphant Over Unrighteousness (Frederick William MacMonnies, sculptor) stands in the foreground of this photograph. The statue, unveiled in 1922, now stands in Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery. New York City's Municipal Building rises above the statue in the background. Built between 1907-1914 and designed by architect William M. Kendall, the Municipal Building was constructed in order to consolidate several different municipal agencies under one roof and thereby save the city rent for multiple buildings. In 2015, it was renamed the David N. Dinkins Municipal Building, after a former New York City mayor.

Caption: "Empire State Building in Center, Lower Manhattan in the Distance. View from Radio City Bldg. New York. Aug. 3, 1934." The Empire State Building dominates this bird's eye view of New York. Construction began on this iconic 102-story building, designed by William F. Lamb, in 1930. Completed by early 1931, it held the title of world's tallest building for almost 40 years, until being surpassed in 1970 by the construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower. It is now the fifth-tallest building in the U.S., and the 28th-tallest in the world.
