Consolidated Edison Building, Irving Pl

I took the 6 train from 77th Street (at Lexington Avenue) down to 14th Street-Union Square, then connected to an L train east to 3 Av station (at East 14th Street) to check out the Stuyvesant Square.

 

The agenda is to look for the statue of Peter/ Pieter/ Petrus Stuyvesant and an outlet of Fuku for lunch.

Partial and edited quote from Wikipedia:

 

"The Consolidated Edison Building, previously known as the Consolidated Gas Building, is a Neoclassical skyscraper designed by the architectural firms of Warren and Wetmore and Henry Hardenber. It was completed in 1928 as the headquarters of Consolidated Edison. The building has been a National Historic Landmark since 2009. The 24-story tower is topped by a "Tower of Light" designed to look like a miniature temple, capped by a bronze lantern which lights up at night."
