Anyone know the year this photo was taken?  If you work in the Goldman Sachs Building on West Street, can you get us a similar image taken from a similar spot?  Then we could do a “before and after” shot.

Notice how dramatically the Seaport and Lower East Side have changed.  Imagine the new dreadful tower now rising up behind the Woolworth.  In this photo, you can see much of the destroyed Washington Market area and Little Syria, both now long gone.   It is a pity “you don’t know what you’ve got, until it’s gone.”
