Pedestrian pathways and rail tracks run through the lower-right and lower-left of the composition, while the twin Gothic arches of the Brooklyn Bridge (1869-1883) tower loom up in the foreground. The bridge's cable arrangement forms a distinctive weblike pattern. The skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan can be seen in the background.  From left to right: Singer Building (built in 1908, demolished in 1968), Woolworth Building (1913), World Building (built in 1890, demolished in 1955), Municipal Building (1914), and the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse (1933).
