Joseph Pennell's Pictures of the Wonder of Work

XVIII BUILDING A SKYSCRAPER, NEW YORK

Reading edition

This was the end, and a most pictorial end, of the old Everett House, a hotel which had character as so few now have—in New York. I saw it one cold November night and made the sketch on my way to a dinner party in old New York. The dinner waited till I got a sketch done, for I knew the construction man would not. So it was done.
