Here is a cool vintage photo of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City from 1965. While unlabeled other then New York City, I figured the church was unique enough that I could find it. And I did a few minutes later with help from this little blog post.

The Grace Church in New York City is a French Gothic Revival style building. It is built with “Sing Sing Marble,” a type of stone from quarries along the Hudson River near the (in)famous Sing Sing Prison.

New York World’s Fair – 1...
1965 was a year of promise and despair. The Space Race was on. Civil Rights were on everyone’s mind. And the 1964 New York World’s Fair was in it’s second season.
This is the first of an entire collection of slides taken in 1965 at the New York World’s Fair that I have. It’s among a set of Disney and Expo 67 pho [...]
Columbus Circle – 1965
One thing New York City does not lack is public art. In Columbus Circle on the South West corner of Central Park stands a memorial to Italian Explorer, and “Discoverer of America,” Christopher Columbus.
