It is a 20-story building on which we are standing now, more than 200 feet above the street level. The Battery, at the S. end of Manhattan island, is half a mile behind us; the North River (part of the Hudson) is at the left, with New Jersey beyond it ; the East River spanned by Brooklyn Bridge is at our right. Five miles this famous street leads N. and N. W. up-town, before it reaches Central Park, and even then the city stretches out 12 miles farther still. Broadway is one of the most famous business streets on earth. Just east of Broadway here at the right is Wall St. where values almost inconceivable in volume change hands among the stock brokers, shaping the financial prosperity of the whole country. Trinity church-spire, at our left, once dominated the street. There has been a church here ever since 1697. In 1703 Queen Anne made the parish a gift of a green field just abov here at the left, extending west to the river half a mile away. Now that land is worth millions upon millions. The early colonists of New York shrewdly foresaw commercial advantages in this location, but their wildest dreams never came near present reality. Even in 1803, when the City Hall was built over near where that Park Row building stands (with its towers crowning 29 stories), this was away "up-town" and the city fathers economized by using cheaper materials in the farther side of the structure because it was out of sight ! Thirty years ago building of ten or twelve stories was considered magnificent but as trade grew, room had to made more fortune-builders and the only direction in which the city could expand was sky-ward. The use steel skeletons, merely faced with stone, is solving the problem, giving enormous dimensions together with the requisite strength to hold weight and resist pressure. See article on The Modern Business Building. Scribner's Magazine. July, 1897, also maps and histories of New York. From Empire Building past Trinity Church, up Broadway. Vue de Broadway, de l'Edifice Empire, au-delà de l'Eglise Trinity. Vom Empire-Gebäude an der Trinith-Kirche br bei zum Broadwah. Vista de Broadway, desde el Edificio Empire, as alla de la Iglesia Trinity Frän Empire huset förbi Trinity kyrkan uppat Broadway. Видъ со зданiя Эмпайръ надъ Троицког церковью; Бродвай, Нью-Іоркъ
