If you thought Sunday's 1954 Columbus Circle Photograph was special, wait until you check out this one…

Snapped sometime in 1907 by Geo. P. Hall & Son, this amazing stitched panorama of a century-old Columbus Circle is a fascinating peek into a New York long gone. Replaced by huge sports arenas, skyscrapers and shopping centers, there are no more tailors, cigar shops or horse supply shops anywhere near this part of the City.

[VIDEO] The Chrysler Building’s Secret Cloud Club Explained

The Chrysler Building, designed by William Van Alen and completed in 1930, is an iconic Art Deco skyscraper in New York City, originally commissioned by Walter P. Chrysler as the headquarters for his automobile company. Standing at 1,046 feet, it was briefly the world's tallest building, known for its distinctive stainless steel spire inspired by Chrysler radiator caps. The building housed the Cloud Club, an exclusive dining club for the city's elite, on its 66th to 68th floors, which operated from 1930 until its closure in 1979. The Chrysler Building remains a symbol of 20th-century modernity and architectural innovation.
