EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the construction progress of the iconic USA - The World Building, also known as the Pulitzer Building, in New York City around the turn of the 20th century. The building, located at 53-63 Park Row on the corner of Park Row and the now-closed Frankfort Street, began construction on October 10, 1889. After an impressive 14-month construction period, it was completed on December 10, 1890. Boasting a claimed height of 20 stories, the New York World Building was a significant architectural achievement of its time, comparable to 16 or 18 stories by today's standards. Commissioned by Joseph Pulitzer, the building's owner, the New York World Building was a testament to Pulitzer's vision and ambition. His private office was situated on the second level of the dome, offering him a unique vantage point to overlook the bustling streets below. This photograph, part of the Box 160 Modern New York, Boswell collection, captures the building in its formative stages, providing a glimpse into the past and the remarkable transformation of New York City's skyline.
