Vote For Your Favorite New York City Skyscraper by The New York Landmarks Conservancy
To celebrate the rich architectural legacy that surrounds us in New York, each month, the Landmarks Conservancy explores various building styles, types, and functions.
In September, in recognition of Skyscraper Day, we’ll feature New York’s most recognized architectural marvel – the spectacular skyscrapers that create its world renowned skyline … the Empire State Building, 70 Pine Street, the Chrysler Building, 40 Wall Street, 30 Rock and the Woolworth Building … are just a sampling of the landmark “Goliaths” stretching into the Manhattan sky.
Skyscraper Day takes place on September 3 – the birthday of Louis H. Sullivan (1856), considered by some to be the "father" of the American skyscraper.
New York’s skyscrapers come in many shapes and sizes and through our Mystery Landmark and Tourist In Your Own Town video series; we’ll explore these fascinating high-rise buildings.
The Conservancy staff has developed a list of their most beloved skyscrapers … vote for your favorite or submit your own suggestion and we’ll post the results next week onFacebook and at the end of the month in our E-newsletter.
