By day, the iconic Plaza Hotel is visible above the trees in Central Park. By night, the lighted windows and picturesque silhouette of the high roofs, reminiscent of a French Renaissance Chateau, add a note of beauty to the #NYC skyline. #LoveNYCLandmarks

Today is #NationalSkyscraperDay! One of the most recognizable early skyscrapers in #NYC is the 1902 Flatiron Building. #DYK that many critics thought the combination of height and triangular shape would cause it to fall down? Thankfully, the critics were wrong. #LoveNYCLandmarks

It’s hard to imagine the USA without the Statue of Liberty, which arrived in New York Harbor #OTD in 1885. Described by UNESCO as both “a masterpiece of colossal statuary” and “masterpiece of the human spirit,” it was added to their World Heritage List in 1984. #LoveNYCLandmarks

As #NYC reopens, city workers are returning to their offices in landmarks including #StatenIsland’s old Edgewater Village Hall in @TappenPark. Built in 1889, it was hailed as “a superb example of Victorian architecture” upon its designation in 1968. #LoveNYCLandmarks

Architect Bertram Goodhue was born #OTD in 1869. After decades in partnership with Ralph Adams Cram, Goodhue began his own firm in 1914 with a series of stylistic experiments including the Byzantine Revival landmark St. Bartholomew's Church and Community House. #LoveNYCLandmarks

#OTD in 2010, we designated the Springs Mills Building an individual landmark. Built 1961-63, it is a well-preserved example of a mid-20th c. glass curtain wall skyscraper & is 1 of the finest corporate works designed by architects Harrison & Abramovitz in #NYC. #LoveNYCLandmarks

#OTD in 1921 Albert Einstein arrived in #NYC amid much fanfare. His 1st lecture was at @CityCollegeNY, where he presented his new theory of relativity for the 1st time in the US. Designed by George B. Post, its north campus was designated a NYC landmark in 1981. #LoveNYCLandmarks

1st of the great 5th Ave commercial palaces, the B. Altman Department store, resembling an Italian Renaissance palazzo, was designated #OTD in 1985. The store moved into this bldg in 1906 & remained here until it closed in 1989. Today the bldg houses CUNY Graduate Center @GC_CUNY
