New York

The Whitehall Building: a 20-story skyscraper located at 17 Battery Place, across the street from Battery Park in lower Manhattan. The original building was constructed from 1902-1904 as a speculative office building designed by architect Henry Hardenbergh. It was named for Peter Stuyvesant's 17th century home, "White Hall", which had been located nearby. It was converted to apartments in 1999. Style: Renaissance Revival / Anglo-ltalianate. Simultaneous with Beaux-Arts Classicism was the closely related architectural style called the Second Renaissance Revival (circa 1890-1930), which focused on the more orderly qualities of the Italian Renaissance, rather than the often flamboyant pictorialism associated with the high Beaux-Arts style. McKim, Mead & White were the leaders in the use of this style, as well as of the movement called the American Renaissance.

Traditional view of Manathan skyline from Brooklyn Bridge ( Z key maybe ) Un melting pot où toutes les couleurs de peau cohabitent. En harmonie plus qu'ailleurs, en apparence... A melting pot where all skin colours live together. In harmony more than elsewhere, apparently... www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnwyxr0UdSU

Does a shadow come Between us in the winter? Is the movement Really light? And I heard A million voices singing Acting to the story That they had heard about Does one child know The secret and can say it? Or does it all come out Along without you? Along without you Along without you Where does reason stop And killing just take over? Does a lamb cry out Before we shoot it dead Are there many more In comfort understanding? Is the movement In the head? And I heard A million voices singing Acting to the story That they had heard about Does one child know The secret and can say it? Or does it all come out Along without you? Along without you Along without you
