Update 68 - NYC in 1932

It's been 3 years since the Great depression but the development of the city still hasn't stopped. Many new and high skyscrapers were built during that time. To start off, here's a view of Downtown Manhattan. New additions to the skyline include (from left to right) the City Bank-Farmers Trust Building (1931), 40 Wall st (1929) and the Cities Service Building (1932)
