(erielack) And now for the Flatiron Building link

[dennis.j.mcdermott_@_verizon.com]

Continuing with the virtual tour, go to this link to see the Flatiron
building and it's history.  These pics will assure all that the Flatiron
building is part of the Erie and it's history.

I tried to make this link easier so no one will suffer "long and tedious"
searching. ;-)

Subject:    (erielack) Re: mcny terminal pics


It was long and tedious, but I found Bernice Abbott's exhibit in
totality. There was the shot of the 23rd St. ferry terminals, quite good
(although I only saw and used Barclay St., Liberty St., and Chambers St.
in better days.) In another segment, Lower East Side I believe, there
was a dock shot with a freighter in the rear, but up front and center
were two "Ventilated Refrigerator" cars with a prominent Erie diamond. I
would guess they were yellow.

Then I came across a picture of the Flatiron Building and I had to stop
my surfing as the Erie diamond was not visible. Being an inveterate New
Yorker (actually tri-stater) I would like to go the the Museum of the
City of New York and see these photos. New York harbor seems so empty
these days without the railroad ferries and car floats.
