Pictures of Lower Manhattan

Vintage art deco. Erected 1930. HQ of Irving Trust until 1990. Converted to BNY HQ in 1997, which then left its 48 Wall site (condemned by NYC Health Dept due to dirty windows).

No longer a preferred address, but more interesting to the eye than Bauhaus.

Property owned by Trinity Church, a temple adjoining the Jerusalem of Mamon.

Greenspan's imperious redoubt, a fortress against irrational exuberance.

Resting place of founder of U.S. public finance, Revolutionary War veteran, co-author of the Federalist Papers, and co-founder of The Bank of New York.

Illustrious neighbors include Robert Fulton and Albert Galatin.

Only 47 at time of death, victim to political passions which led him to a duel with Aaron Burr on the shores of Weehawken.

Greeting to boss's visitors.
