EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1933, showcases the iconic RCA Building and GE Building, now collectively known as 30 Rockefeller Plaza, in their early splendor. Located in the heart of New York City, these Art Deco architectural marvels were once the tallest buildings in the world outside of Chicago. The RCA Building, with its distinctive curved design and streamlined elegance, housed the Radio Corporation of America and NBC's headquarters. Meanwhile, the GE Building, with its more traditional square shape and setback tower, was home to the General Electric Corporation. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s, an era marked by innovation and progress. The press of people and vehicles on the bustling streets below, the crystal-clear windows reflecting the vibrant cityscape, and the imposing presence of the buildings themselves all contribute to the sense of energy and excitement that defined this time. The photograph also offers a unique perspective on the daily life of the city. A window cleaner can be seen high above the ground, meticulously cleaning the glass panes of the RCA Building. His small figure, dwarfed by the towering structure, underscores the sheer scale of these architectural wonders. This photograph is an invaluable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of New York City during the pre-war era. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the city and the power of architecture to transport us through time.
