The picture above was the first one I took for yesterday’s blog post. It shows 15 Stone Street (the small mid-1800s building in the center) in context. The construction site just to left of 15 Stone is the new 11-13 Stone, which replaced two old buildings similar to 15; the green horizontally-striped building left of that is 2 Broadway, which replaced the Produce Exchange; the building to the right of 15 is 80 Broad Street, from the 1920s; the building blocking the end of the block is 85 Broad, built in the 1980s; the building on the far right is 1 Whitehall Street. 15 Stone is surrounded by almost 100 years of newer, much taller buildings.
Why does this seem so familiar? Oh yeah: it’s Rotwang’s house from Metropolis.
