One of the comments to the article suggests using Google street view to compare 6th Ave / 40 St in 1940 with today.
I've just done it, looking south you can just see the prominent tall building from 1940, with many others now surrounding it.

The photo of Grand Central Station in 1937 is extraordinary!

I was looking at these earlier. Wonderful aren't they?
