Photo id with “? of Lincoln Tunnel Vent stack ” is actually older;
it is the one of the vent stacks for the Holland Tunnel, begun in 1920, and finished in 1927 and the first vehicular crossing under the hudson river
Bob: Many thanks for the correction. I had no idea the Holland Tunnel is nearly 100 years old!
