A view from the Hudson River toward Manhattan’s West Side, showing the smokestacks of the former Interborough Rapid Transit Company Powerhouse near West 59th Street. The Empire State Building appears at the far right, while warehouses, piers and industrial buildings line the waterfront. The powerhouse occupied the block between West 58th and 59th Streets and Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues.
