  The Chrysler Building is my favorite skyscraper in New York and in all the world as well. A true work of art. May she stand forever.

  Pretty sure someone erred in the photos. &nbsp;I believe the article was referring to &quot;ash wood,&quot; not burnt ash as shown at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2ACeo8haus&amp;t=788">13:08</a>. &nbsp; Ash is used for furniture, flooring, doors, cabinetry, architectural moulding and millwork, tool handles, baseball bats, hockey sticks, oars, turnings, and is also sliced for veneer.

  It&apos;s a shame how that victorian &nbsp;buildings dissappeared. They were so theatrical and poetics... New York has lost slmost all his soul since 1950.

  I grew up watching the Disney live action musical “Newsies” about the newsboys’ strike of 1899, organized by children working for the New York World. I didn’t realize until now that the filmmakers actually showed this building several times in the film, and I am surprised and impressed that Disney went to that level of trouble in the name of historical accuracy for a children’s movie!

  I can&apos;t help but notice the Singer Tower standing proudly at the far right of the frame at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2ACeo8haus&amp;t=1240">20:40</a>. My favorite lost treasure brought to my awareness by Its History . Thank you the videos Ryan !

  I love these historical documentaries on &nbsp;how, who and why buildings were constructed, where their name came from, and why some got demolished, one of my most favourite documentary on Rise and Fall buildings is Old Pennsylvania Railroad Station, such a shame, and to build Madison Square Gardens on top.

  This might be a little out of the box, but I have a great topic for a building video. In Rotterdam, The Netherlands there is a building called (translated) &quot;The White House.&quot; It was built in the 1890s after the designers saw New York&apos;s sky scrapers and envisioned one for their city. Its only 43m/141 ft tall, but has survived everything from storms to Nazi bombardment.

  I really get the feel of how vibrant this era of New York was from these videos. I feel like I can step right into those places in the photos.

  Well, NYC may have lost an iconic building, but it gained an on-off ramp.
