In respect on the discussion regarding our perspective of the historic --
attached is a graphic of one view of the Empire State Building. It is not a
worm, virus, or herpes. View at your own discretion.
Making sure not to miss viewing our history -- in the foreground is the Marble
Collegiate Church. Built in 1854. It is a city and a federal landmark. This
was Norman Vincent Peale's church. It is made of Tuckahoe marble, which was
supplied from a quarry owned by Boss Tweed. A building stone with particulalry
lousy durability. The material was also used on Grace Church, where Mercy
Lavinia Warren Bump was married, and on Tweed Courthouse behind NY City Hall.
