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.

Caption: "Flavel Hotel, Columbia River, Or.," c. 1909. Built at the turn of the century, the Flavel Hotel housed passengers waiting to board steamships of the Great Northern Pacific Steamship Company bound for San Francisco and other ports. The Flavel family constructed the hotel as part of an effort to establish the town of Flavel on Tansy Point along the Columbia River. The town failed to attract sufficient residents, however, and was annexed into Warrenton by 1918. By the time this photograph was taken, the hotel appears to have been abandoned.
