NYT 175 NYE | Photo Pulls: Building Supplement
This bound compilation looks like a facsimile of an original paper supplement. These images are mostly for background info, but there are some nice elements and photos. Question: are these original pages available for possible high-res scans? And are the featured photos available in original form?
This is the NYT headquarters built in 1904 at 1 Times Square, establishing its location (prior to it was down on Park Row), by Adolph Ochs. The area was renamed from Longacre Square to Times Square in honor of the newspaper. This is where the first ball drop happened as a promotional stunt, and fashioned after a maritime practice of a large visible ball dropping to indicate noon (Ochs used it to indicate midnight).
