Here's the answer:

<?plugin IncludePhoto?>

53rd floor of 20 Exchange Place.  It's a 1931 tower which competed with the Chrysler Building to be the tallest skyscraper in New York.  Then the City Bank Farmers Trust ran out of money and didn't put a pyramid top on, so the Chrysler Building won.  Of course a year later, the Empire State building creamed them all.

Incidentally, I think the World Trade Center would have been in the right of this photo.

City Bank Farmers Trust eventually became Citibank.  They moved out of 20 Exchange Place quite a while back.
