1932 photograph of 70 Pine Street and the Manhattan skyline from the City Bank Farmers Trust Building at 20 Exchange Place. The photograph's detail, from the elevated train lines to the gas tanks of the former Gas House District (Stuy Town today) and the early Midtown skyscrapers is remarkable.

70 Pine Street—a former office building now being converted to rentals—was one of the best places I toured this year.
One of the greatest Art Deco skyscrapers in NYC has a scale model of itself above its entrances. The 12-foot version of 70 Pine (formerly the Cities Services, then American International Building) is carved in stone on the north and south facades. The bottom of the stone model is a tinier version: the scale model of the model! #70pine #architecturalmodel #artdeco #skyscrapers #architecture #landmarksnyc (at 70 Pine)
. Cities Services, a petroleum company, built the tower to house its corporate headquarters as well as rental floors. The company’s founder and chairman, Henry L. Doherty, an eccentric engineer and inventor supervised the design of the tower and intended to live in the penthouse, although poor health prevented him from ever doing so. (The penthouse never came into existence, but the top story was once an observatory open to the public. It was originally furnished with chairs and other articles of furniture designed by Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer.) The skyscraper was originally known as 60 Wall Street, a more prestigious address that was justified by the tower’s connection by a footbridge (and an underground walkway) to a building with that address, now demolished. The 67 story tower rises as a slender shaft that is articulated with a series of shallow receding planes and at the top steps back to crest a glass observatory which is illuminated at night. The brick cladding lightens from a browny-beige to a creamy-tan as the tower ascends. The base of the building is clad in a luxurious polished pink and black Minnesota granite. The American International Building was the last high-rise to go up before the Depression hit, and consequently, the last to be erected before WWII. Post-war, the only buildings that ever surpassed it in height, were the World Trade Center’s twin towers. This is currently Lower Manhattan’s tallest building. The skyscraper is currently undergoing a residential conversion. #70pine #architecture #artdeco #skyscraper #wallstreet #downtownnyc (at 70 Pine Street)
Developer Adam R. Rose talks about historic, iconic and stylish 70 Pine Street. Offering studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments for rent, 70 Pine will be the new standard of living in New York City’s Financial District. "70 Pine Street is a building that substantively has amazing elements to benefit its residents that are truly unique. People can now live in this 1932 Art Deco tower that was built originally as an office building and happens to just lends itself perfectly to conversion to residential. The zoning from the nineteen thirties required buildings to set back as they got taller and taller reaching towards the sky. It wasn't very useful as an office building but it's a terrific thing for an apartment building. Over 150 apartments at 70 Pine Street benefit from outdoor space. Our terraces which start around the 10th floor have surprisingly open views: city views on the lower floor, great views on the mid floor and, what I would call, helicopter views from the top floors of all the boroughs of the city, the Harbor, Jersey and North up in to Connecticut and upstate New York. They are really spectacular. We have brought together a rooftop restaurant, the La Palestra health club, the Q&A hotel in one location to benefit each other and to benefit our residents. And we think people are going to really, really prize the opportunity to live here."
