Battery Tower (Manhattan)
Battery Tower was the name of a proposed initial unit of a $50,000,000 1929 residential development on West Street, near the Battery Park in Manhattan, New York City. It would have served workers in the Wall Street area.〔 and would have been the first hotel-apartment completed in the Financial District, Manhattan.〔''Urges Architects To Keep Pure Forms'', New York Times, October 20, 1929, pg. N4.〕 Unfortunately it became one of a number of skyscraper projects left unfinished. Battery Park City was built on
the site of the proposed development, nearly six decades later.〔''Skyscraper Rivals (The AIG Building and the Architecture of Wall Street)'', Daniel M. Abramson, Princeton Architectural Press, 2001, pg. 207.〕
==History of the proposed site==
During the first half of the 19th century this locale, bounded by Battery Place, Liberty Street, West Street, Greenwich Street, Carlisle Street, Washington Street, Morris Street, Albany Street, Rector Street, and Cedar Street, was primarily taken up by private residences. In the early years of the 19th century the larger theaters were downtown, notably one on Park Row. Battery Park was a public walkway for the wealthy of the era. The older buildings in the region, which became tenements, still retained vestiges of the appearance which were ''earmarks of their original high estate.'' Such features were American colonial architecture doorways and interiors, along with window lintels and cornices. These details were indicative of construction in the distant past.〔''Battery May Regain Fame As Home Area'', New York Times, October 20, 1929, pg. W19.〕
