It is personal for me. It was told to me by my father that his father John Hanek was the forman for the copper roof. I remember seeing a picture of workers sitting on a beam in my fathers' things. If anyone has any information I would be delighted to hear it.

I've long been an admirer of older architecture, as well as an enthusiast of the little-known details found in the books and crannies of various cities. For someone like me, your blog is simply addictive!

She was very surprised and I said it was because of Tom Miller's blog. She said she was familiar with your work and thought you did a great job in your post about the building. That is high praise coming from her because the Woolworth Building is her baby! Thought I would pass that along.<br /><br />Thanks again for your wonderful posts.Phyllis Winchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178700544258809791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-23585673234832562402014-12-10T09:16:54.004-08:002014-12-10T09:16:54.004-08:00Tom, you forgot to add pictures of the pool.

A post-9/11 sign outside says, "No tourists beyond this point." <br /><br />I recall fondly my days as a penniless architecture-lover in NYC of the early 1980s when I would often, as a sort of game, see what magnificent buildings I could get into, PAST the lobby.
