115 Broadway
Post
These twin Gothic towers, completed two years apart, are separated by the narrow canyon of Thames Street. Their roofs are connected by a small wrought iron- bridge. The Gothic ornament on these buildings harmonizes with the architecture of neighboring Trinity Church. They contrast sharply with the classical style that the eclectic Kimball used on the Empire Building on the south side of the churchyard. Beautifully restored in the 1990's, the lobbies of both towers are wonderful examples of High Victorian Gothic with floor and lower walls paneled in marble, bronze tracery moldings, and polychrome patterns stenciled on the walls. The elevator-door surrounds, designed to resemble Gothic choir stalls, seem more suited to a sacristy than an office building, as does the ceiling with its heavy beams and the transom windows with their leaded glass

Old Meets New: Coffee Houses of Lower Manhattan
Story
New York City is home to coffee lovers. For centuries, coffee has been sold, traded, and enjoyed in the city. One aspect of coffee culture that has aided its popularity is the coffee house. Coffee houses' locations throughout Lower Manhattan were essential to the foundations of the City's political and financial institutions. Providing both public and private rooms to men of all classes for discussions of business, politics, new ideas, and the latest gossip, coffee houses quickly rose in popularity. Although these institutions no longer stand their influences are still felt today. Join us as we travel to the locations of several old New York City coffee houses to see what has replaced them in their stead.

Trinity Building ARCHITECT: Francis H. Kimball DATE: 1904-07 STYLE: Neo-Gothic, Skyscraper The Trinity Building, built in 1905 and 1907, is among the first skyscrapers in New York designed in the neo-Gothic style. Among the notable design features of the building is its sympathetic relationship to Trinity Church, with its southern elevation providing an important and harmonious backdrop to the graveyard, thereby enhancing one of New York’s most important landmarks.
