WALL STREET from above
One hundred years ago today … This is what downtown Manhattan, the financial District, looked like from the south-facing windows of either the Woolworth or the American Telegraph building.

The rectangular building in the left foreground is the Federal Reserve Bank. the entirety of Governor’s Island is visible off the southeastern edge of Manhattan (top of picture), beyond that, Brooklyn. Harder to make out is New Jersey, top right, and in the distance, Staten Island, top.
