But in regards to Emery Roth and sons, they had a hand in many of NYC's skyscrapers. 55 Water is also one of theirs, and they served as consultants on Citicorp, the WTC, and several others, as well as designing a great many lesser-known skyscrapers. Park Avenue is absolutely full of them, a fact that disgusted Frank Lloyd Wright. Oh well, Wright can bite me. I'm a Roth fan.

LOL, sounds like good reading. I'm a fan of this building also. I'm not crazy at all about 55 Water St though.
