On a side note, a few posts up, check out 220 CPS. Blends in so well with the much older structures in the foreground (along CP South).
220 CPS and 111 W 57th will be ones for the architecture books. I could just picture a nice book at some college called "fundamentals of architecture" with a pic of Steinway on the front cover and being used in some architecture class for freshmen.
Sadly, the class on the exam had an average of a 20... and only 1 passed. He went on to design the 1st mega tall for NYC. After great success, and going on to designing Chicago's 1st mega tall, he was struck by a bus (that was taking NIMBYs to a community meeting) and died.
But he is not to be forgotten, as the "fundamentals of architecture", with the Steinway pic, inspired him to transform two skylines.
