These are Chatham Towers, first glimpsed last night, built in 1965 and causing quite a sensation at the time, being New York City's first residential buildings made of poured concrete. They were designed by Kelly and Gruzen which also designed Chatham Green, the "undulating wall of Chinatown."

Here is a view of one of the towers looking down Mulberry street. This photograph is taken from a later walk, October 6, but I thought it belonged here.
