Guys, guys!

Its not dat bad! The crossbrasing makes up for the brasing we lost on 3WTC. Ok that back end is terrible yes but the old building side is much nicer.

Now if only they put copper plates on that "PVC pipe" it will look so much better.

On the left, next to the great woolworth. Doesn't deserve to be so close to an architectural treasure. This tower should of been built on rikers island, where, it would be filled with the nation's murderers, and promptly imploded as the victim's families watch from afar.

Two positives from that idea are that it would kill two terrible birds with one red button.

The kind of feeling that you get when you step on dog shit, and you have white, $300 sneakers.

This terrible thing can be seen.

At least the coming towers like 23 Park Row will have obscure it. If i was a billionaire I'd by out the firm that designed this, and fire every one of them, than aim to turn it into the next SHoP. I'd have motivational posters hanging all over the office (like you see in corporate settings) showing SHoP towers. The failure one would have this. Something to motivate the interns.

if anybody loves cozy opulence . .
walk into the entrance of 5 Beekman St. . .
and therein find one of the most magnificent rooms in Manhattan . .
sit at the long, thickly-slabbed marble bar . .
accented with small, beautifully-designed, old fashioned shaded lamps . .
or plop into the comfort of a plush upholstered chair in the heart of "the Bar Room"

. . while away an hour or two, with friends & cocktails in elegant ambiance . .
or people-watch, alone . . with a sumptuous wine and your notepad . .
with painted portraits, one of Edgar Allen Poe, hanging on the walls . .
allow your eyes to wander up . . into the architectural extravagance
of an ornate, Victorian, balconied atrium . .

as cheap-looking as the whimsical tinker-toy tower residences are . .
(as pictured on these pages) . . here, next door, beneath and within
the gorgeous bowels of the high-toned, turreted, red-bricked hotel . .
(part of the same development) . . we have its opposite . .
This Fowler & Wells environment is a purely deluxe experience . .

hotel & residences . . two separate entrances on Nassau . .
"the bar room" (with atrium) entrance on Beekman . .
which then connects into the hotel lobby through a hallway . .

Good lord. It really does look like some sort of PVC playground equipment.

Other than the poor materials for the crown, I actually think this is a really great tower...(don't hit me!). I love the moody feeling it has and it gives some nice contrast to the flashy towers that have been going up in NYC and the rest of the country as well. This has a grit to it that works....IMO

The PVC pipe material doesn't work!
Perhaps in another city that is struggling, but certainly NOT in NYC.

Just for having a photo of this tower on the memory!
