Observing Surveillance MPD Photos

Lower Manhattan is also post-1993 (the first attack on the WTC) covered with surveillance cameras everywhere, there's a group on line that maps them all known ones anyway, who ask what good were they? This link is to a picture of the U-S Capitol Dome, ("Last" button in the slide show) which was made and assembled, (replacing the previous "hat box") during the Lincoln administration, and cast in the South Bronx by the Janes and Kirtland firm, which made other capital structures. They built and assembled it for a little over $1 million according to a former Bronx historian, John MacNamara. He also wrote an interesting book on the history of the Bronx in the 17th century, its frontier era.
