The Times Building, N. Y. City (Rotograph) c.1906. Occupied by the Times for less than a decade, the building is now designated One Times Square. Now almost entirely covered in advertising signs and digital marquees (at rental rates reportedly reaching $10,000 per hour), it has been used to commemorate New Year’s Eve since its inauguration. The sign on the building in the lower right-hand corner reads “Wilson High Ball.”
