Rob Amaral Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 There was a period there when all windows were temporary replaced with painted-black plywood.. .we called it the plywood palace during that period (late 70's? early 80's?) The building was twisting just enough to mess up the windows and they would pop out. A massive dynamic damper system was installed up high within the building that corrected the problem (as did a new type of window). The view from the observation deck up there is great if you can get in. I believe it may be closed (since 9-11-01)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I noticed that in your larger shot, a different shade of blue in the reflection. Much nicer than black plywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 The observation deck is still closed. I tried to take my younguns there a few months back. My grandfather took me to there as soon as it opened. It was a very memorable afternoon and he died a few months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
