These are photographs of the model as submitted at the November, 2005 hearing. We do not have photos of subesquent models. (See the fairly ridiculous photos of the revised model as of March, 2006 as submitted at the March 14, 2006 meeting/hearing.).

Note: this north photographic of the model shows how imposing the top floor are over the leve of 18 W. 70 to the right. In the perspective below, the architects use a lighter color for the top floors so as to minimize the impact of the top floors.

Apparently, in response to objections about the lack of perspective, the architects provided the perspective below - but they chose a point of view way down the street so as to not show the complete impact of the building, and the impact overshadowing the synagogue. A better perspective would be directly across the street, for example, from in from of the famous violinist's buidling at 21 W. 70th Street
