Photograph
B+W photo of a night view of the original World Trade Center (Twin Towers) under construction as viewed from Jersey City, no date, circa September 1970.
Digital image only. Original print 8" x 10" wide. Photographer not indicated. Reverse blank other than mark-up (N33) for previous publication use (no indication of where.)
The photo was taken south of the Hoboken city line in Jersey City.The pilings seen in the river are probably the remains of former piers of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, then known as the Erie Lackawanna; also possibly part of the Erie Railroad's former freight operations. While not a Hoboken vista, it is typical of similar views seen by Hoboken residents.
