The Bank of Manhattan building also known as the Long Island City Clock Tower. This is one of the most iconic buildings in Queens. It was constructed in 1927 by architect Morrell Smith. It has neo-gothic elements in its design as well as a beautiful clock on the crown. This building is in danger of being destroyed because of its recent sale. The clock tower is being considered for the title of Historic Landmark by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. This would of course mean the building would survive for out future generations.

The Landmarks Preservation Council voted to landmark the Clock Tower. :)
