We received these amazing old panoramic photos in our inbox yesterday (courtesy Forgotten-NY), taken by Patrick Cullinan in the '60s. The spot? Patrick writes: "In June of 1962, I went to the Williamsburg Bank Building and asked 'the guy' if I could go upstairs and take some pictures. He said OK. I think he escorted me. The whole thing was conducted in a relaxed atmosphere"... as opposed to today, when you have to sneak in. Enjoy the nearly half century journey back in time!
