Then and Now

I love this ancient cupola on top of an equally historic building at the intersection of 14th and 6th in Manhattan. The original pleated brass work is still intact though the rest of the cupola has obviously seen better days. The contrast against the new building in the background adds to the feeling of history in the making.

I've never noticed it before. I'll have to look up next time I am in that area.
It has seen better days like you say: it looks like they tried to repair it with duct tape. ;)

Good eye! I walk by there all the time and never notice it.
