Cooper Union Clocktower

http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/images/0000/3463/cooper_union_foundation_building_clock.jpg

At the very top of Cooper Union's Foundation Building, lies a small clocktower room that doubles as a classroom.  The brownstone building, which is the flagship of the Cooper Union school, was built in 1859 and is one of the most gorgeous pieces of architecture in the city.

I was lucky enough to be allowed to view this room and go out on the rooftop when I was scouting the Morphosis building and I wanted to share the photos with you all.

 This view will probably be changing very rapidly.

Thanks Lucy, my pleasure Karen. I love old stuff like this too. Lately we've been pretty obsessed with those antique reality shows like Storage Wars and Auction Hunters.
