Charakteristickým znakem New Yorku bylo již před 110 lety obrovské množství mrakodrapů. Jižní Manhattan byl na přelomu 19. a 20. století domovem osmi z deseti nejvyšších budov světa a tato dobová fotografie z roku 1902 zachytila rovnou šest mrakodrapů, které se ve své době pyšnily titulem nejvyšší na světě.
