Architectural treasures

I just spent the last several days and evenings walking the streets of Manhattan.

I never knew how much architectural richness the city held.

Gilded Age splendors redolent of JP Morgan.

19th and 20th century limestone celebrations of the ceaseless throbbing of American commerce and capitalism.

Trinity Church nestled down in the midst of tall buildings with the tomb of the great father Alexander Hamilton in the grassy graveyard next to it.

And just across the street from Hamilton's tomb soars the Art Deco skyscraper that houses the Bank of New York that Hamilton founded.

Any one of these treasures would be the centerpiece of another American city. But here, it is just another treasure.
