An Urban Archeology. Some of the most exciting spaces in a city often go unused because their potential cannot be imagined.

Originally built for Park Row Publishers in 1899, this 20' diameter tower was vacant for many years. It served to maintain the building's status as the "world's tallest building" for approximately 50 years before the Woolworth Building. During that time millions of visitors used the marble steps, wearing out their paths to the top of the building. The perimeter walls suffered severe water damage over the years. In the process of removing many layers of damaged gypsum board surfaces, the beautiful ironwork of the curved elevator doors were discovered.
