Constructing times square

This photo was taken in 1903. Fun fact: times square is named "times square", because this building was originally put up by the new York times. They only used it for ten years 1904 - 1914.

This was before all those pesky pop-ups started showing up.

The building scares me, looks like a gust of wind could knock it over.

I never understood buildings like these. Going from one room to three wide- a triangle shape.
