And dwarfed by the two towers is 1841 Broadway or the Cova building. The groggy, uncaffeinated shado

Picking up from where I left off  last week  in Times Square on Don t Forget to Look Up ! I did the short walk from one center of the performing arts to another. I didn t expect to find anything worth photographing, especially in Times Square itself, but was pleasantly surprised by a few buildings
Upon arriving in Times Square I thought I would just run through the tourist capital of Manhattan, convinced there was nothing to be seen above the glittering of the billboards. I was however much mistaken! The first building to catch my eye was the art deco Paramount Building which formerly housed the Paramount Theater:
Funnily enough someone walking car rental vancouver bc past stopped to look at what I was photographing and commented on how well spotted this was don t forget to look up and you ll see there is a lot more where this came from in Manhattan! There s more than just seeing celebrities at 1697 Broadway it s also a way to pass the time waiting!
The Corner of 57th and Broadway houses the Demarest and Peerless Company Building by Francis H. Kimball. This Italian looking building which stands out on this stretch of broadway  was used by General Motors for over 50 years
Then there is the B.F.Goodrich Company Building, squashed between the two giants on the block. The façade certainly has a more interesting inspiration as explained in this report by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission which states that the architects quote Georgian, Elizabethan, Jacobean and even Vienna Secession elements can you spot the eagles?!
And dwarfed by the two towers is 1841 Broadway or the Cova building. The groggy, uncaffeinated shadows of humans who wander sleepily into the Starbucks at the bottom of this building in the morning are most likely not looking up at their vendor car rental vancouver bc let alone the architecture of the building they are in! So here s what you re missing car rental vancouver bc on your morning coffee run:
