i'm not sure that what you see at the base isn't just an ambient reflection from an adjacent building.
Anyway, stainless steel is resilient stuff. The stainless steel cladding on the Beekman is not very different from that on the Chrysler Building or on the Gateway Arch in St Louis. Stainless doesn't require a whole lot of regular intensive cleaning the way that some other materials might.
Hmm... you're sure cause the area I'm pointing to is the area now being cladded in the straight line up where the construction elevator was. The column looks quite clean while the adjacent pieces are a noticeably different color.
when you look at it closely the top is slightly shinier than the bottom

I think that's just perspective. Unless you're talking about the setbacks creating a narrower shaft.
no i mean the oldr clad just looks a lil dirtier

I don't see it either. To me it looks like a modern inspiration of the GE building in NYC with those set backs. Maybe some of the windows are similar but the setbacks are not all similar either with the Library tower.
I don't see it at all. It may be vague, at best. But then I would have to compare it to a few others. I think it has more in common with the Chase Manhattan a couple of blocks away than the Library Tower. But it's similarities to the GE are unmistakable.

The new guard and the old guard, constructed almost exactly 100 years apart.
that's what makes NY so incredible...........so many views of the old and new in one shot. i was there 2 weeks ago and am already itching to get back. I'm thankful to be from an area (Boston) that is close enough that i can still get my fill with out too much problem or planning
