    Such a literal depiction of debt hanging over your head.

    But why’d they want it up there?

    This sends bad signals for a bank. You want your bank stabile with feet on the ground, tip toeing with head in the sky.

    The fed reserve in Boston is also weirdly shaped/elevated – link here

    Is it going to assault Echo Base?

    Kind of looks like a Star Wars Imperial Walker.

    That’s a mf AT-AT

    was this built for a train to needlessly go beneath? i’m sure they thought it looked futuristic in 69 but it looks like an ATAT humped a Doug Trumbull model and this was the lovechild. that’s already boinkin’ the building next door.

    The building would have stood 46 stories tall.

    How is this type of images made ? I imagine there was no photoshop in the 60s
