Photo of New York: View of Lower Manhattan, 1984

View of Lower Manhattan, 1984. The Twin Towers are clearly visible, with the Hudson River behind them and Jersey City, New Jersey, on the other side. At the time, Jersey City was still mostly low-rise. Today, it is filled with skyscrapers. To the right of the Twin Towers, there is still open land where Battery Park City would be built.

In front of the North Tower stands the Woolworth Building. The Municipal Building, which resembles a Stalinist skyscraper, can be seen in the lower center of the frame. On the left is the interchange for the entrance to and exit from the Brooklyn Bridge.
