This great vintage photograph shows the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in 1973, completely framing the Woolworth Building in between. Snapped by an unknown photographer from across the Hudson River in New Jersey, the photo shows how the towers were built immediately adjacent to the river and the West Side Highway. A few years after this photo was taken, excavated dirt from the tower's construction would be used to landfill the neighborhood of Battery Park City, and the buildings would end up "moving" a few blocks inland.
