The Statue of Liberty on the tallest residential building in NYC??

8 Spruce Street
New York, NY 10306
 

That's right. Frank Gehry, a celebrity architect, designed the 76 floor residential building based on the ripples of the Statue of Liberty's dress! Located in the Lower East Side, the Beekman Tower - 8 Spruce St, is noted to even be taller than the Trump World Tower! With views of the Brooklyn Bridge, along with its own public school on the ground floor it is a gorgeous building! ...Allegedly, if you stand in just the right spot, the ripples lead right into the REAL Statue of Liberty's dress, a design trick to fool the eye!
