Description
Photograph of an aerial view of the construction of the Pershing Square parking garage, looking north, 1950-1959. Pershing Square is at center and is a long, rectangular area bordered by wide streets. The square is flat and empty, and an assortment of trees can be seen along the edges. Wide concrete sidewalks are visible on the edges as well. Several ramps lead from the streets to an underground area, possibly the parking garage, and many automobiles can be seen on the ramps.
