Can anyone recognize this building from the 70s in NYC? Is it still there?

You need to post the pic. Most don’t want to download a file to view.

rather than the taller building in the center background?

You know, the New York Times periodically does a piece where they discuss a building and its history. You can ask them.

I'm curious about both. Context is this: I was there as a child and took this picture. I wonder where it is and would like to go there if these buildings still exist.
