The Citigroup Center (formerly Citicorp Center and now known as 601 Lexington Avenue) is an office tower in New York City, located at 53rd Street between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue in midtown Manhattan. It was built in 1977 to house the headquarters of Citibank. It is 915 feet (279 m) tall, one of the ten tallest skyscrapers in New York, and has 59 floors with 1.3 million square feet (120,000 m²) of office space,
The building is one of the most distinctive and imposing in New York's skyline, thanks to a 45° angled top and a unique stilt-style base. It was designed by architect Hugh Stubbins and structural engineer William LeMessurier. The building is currently owned by Boston Properties, and in 2009, was renamed 601 Lexington Avenue.
Since I had limited resources for seeing the actual tower from Google Images and Google Maps, I am not 100% if I got the top correct to facing the right direction to the base of the building!

Your artwork would definitely be more appreciated and more popular as a standalone piece in an art blog showcase, which I think many people will like.
Because it isn't about the artwork I had to the cover, I want people to enjoy the work of the builds and projects I upload to Planet Minecraft.
i support this idea!
