February 20, 2004: From the General Motors Building










The General Motors Building is up at the corner of 59th and 5th Avenue, opposite the Plaza Hotel. Until last year, it was owner by Donald Trump, and has his name in thirty foot letters across the front. FAO Schwartz was a tenant in the building until it closed last month, and I've heard rumors that when the building last sold, it was one of the biggest real estate deals ever consumated in Manhattan. The views above were taken from the 25th floor, and take in buildings to the West and South.
