Wikipedia says, "The Singer Building or Singer Tower, at Liberty Street and Broadway in Manhattan, was a 47-story office building completed in 1908 as the headquarters of the Singer Manufacturing Company. It was the tallest building in the world from 1908 to 1909. It was demolished in 1968, together with the adjacent City Investing Building, and is now the site of 1 Liberty Plaza. When it was demolished, it was the tallest building ever to be demolished, and is still the third-tallest building ever to be destroyed (after the World Trade Center towers) and the tallest to be purposely demolished by its owner."

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!

Sculptures on the facade
The building was designed by architect Pavel Suzor for the Russian branch of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. Initially, the management of the Singer Company had ambitions to construct a skyscraper, similar to the Singer Building - company headquarters being built at that time in New York. However, the building code of Saint Peterburg center did not allow structures taller than 23.5 meters (the height of the Winter Palace - tzar's residence). The architect found an elegant solution - the seven story building featured a tower on the top crowned with a glass globe.[1] This tower makes an impression of high rise, but due to its lightness, it doesn't shadow neither the Kazan Cathedral nor the Church of the Savior on Blood. The sculptor was the Estonian Amandus Adamson.

It's really a beautiful piece of hardware... I am hoping it actually works. I am mostly wondering if this is actually rare or not... there are a few on eBay from $70 to $400 (not that I would sell this), as well as some spare parts I might have to buy.
Yay for Brooklyn curbside trash stuff!
This may possibly be Donie Callaghan from Ovens in his Singer.

My 1969 Singer Chamois WMV180G parked in Woodley Hill, Chesham, sometime around 1977. It had 30k miles on the clock when I bought it in 1974, and 109k by the time it 'died' in 1982.
Back in the mid 90's, "Good Morning America's" summer concerts were held in the space in front of Tavern on the Green in Central Park. The area was small which allowed for a much more intimate concert experience and ease in approaching the performers and celebrities for autographs. This, of course, was prior to the events of September 11th, 2001 - which forever changed how security for live television shows and performances is handled in New York City.
