The Latting Observatory was a wooden tower in New York City built as part of the 1853 Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, adjoining the New York Crystal Palace. It was located on the North side of 42nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue across the street from the site of present-day Bryant Park. Conceived by Waring Latting and designed by architect William Naugle, the observatory was an octagonally-based, iron-braced wooden tower 315 feet (96 m) high adjoining the Crystal Palace, with landings at three levels on the structure, allowing visitors to see east into Queens, south into Staten Island, and west into New Jersey. The tower, taller than the spire of Trinity Church at 290 feet (88 m), was the tallest structure in New York City from the time it was constructed in 1853 until it was shortened in 1855. The tower's base was a 75-foot (23 m) square, tapering to a top of 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m). It could handle up to 1,500 people at a time. It burned down in 1856.
El Observatorio Latting (en inglés: Latting Observatory) fue una torre de madera construida en Nueva York como parte de la Exposición Industrial de Todas las Naciones de 1853, junto al Crystal Palace. Estaba en el lado norte de la calle 42, entre las avenidas Quinta y Sexta, donde actualmente se encuentra el Bryant Park. Concebida por Waring Latting y diseñada por el arquitecto William Naugle, el observatorio fue una torre octogonal en hierro reforzado de madera de 96 metros de altura. Contaba con tres rellanos, situados en los tres niveles de la estructura, permitiendo a los visitantes ver desde ella Queens, Staten Island y Nueva Jersey. La torre, más alta que la torre de la Trinity Church, que tenía 88 metros; fue la estructura más alta en Nueva York desde el momento en que se construyó en 1853 hasta su incendio en 1856.[1] La base de la torre era un cuadrado de 23 por 23 m. Podía albergar hasta a 1500 personas a la vez.[2]
