NEW YORK | One New York Plaza | 640 FT / 195 M | 50 FLOORS | 1969

How about some love for One New York Plaza?
She's the southernmost of Manhattan skyscrapers, and she's had one heck of an eventful history. Fires and explosions have left their marks, yet she's still standing, defiant as ever.

In the mid 90's, she got a facelift- her corners and roofline used to be painted black, but they were repainted in white, which makes them look so much better, IMHO. I like her facade too, it's got an interesting texture.
I don't have any fan art for this skyscraper, but I'm working on it!

I'll start off with a few pictures I've taken of this lovely skyscraper:
