The Skyscraper Museum
URL: http://www.skyscraper.org/

Description:
The Skyscraper Museum documents the history of construction and development in downtown Manhattan. Computer-generated maps in Manhattan Timeformations follow 370 years of real estate speculation. Users may manipulate the maps to see the locations of city features (parks, subways, etc.) and buildings during different time periods. The site has many photos of such monuments as the Empire State Building, the Woolworth Tower, and the World Trade Center, and has information about the museum's exhibits and current and future locations.
