Photograph of an aerial view of Pershing Square showing the Biltmore Hotel, 1925. The tripartite building of the Biltmore Hotel can be seen in the upper lefthand corner, with the Detwiler Building visible just below it. Other similar highrise buildings help to encapsulate the verdant square at center, filled with trees and paths leading through the foliage to a paved hub in the middle.
