American International Life Building

The American International Life Building is a 66-storey, 952 foot (290 m) tall skyscraper in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Its address is 70 Pine St # 50, New York, NY. It was built in 1932, during the New York skyscraper race, which explains its Gothic-like appearance, with a spire top popular in the skyscraper architecture of that time.

The American International Life Building was the tallest building in Downtown Manhattan until the arrival of the World Trade Center. After the September 11 incident, it was once again the tallest downtown building, and the fifth tallest in New York City.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
