Lincoln Tunnel Ventilation Tower, 491 11th Avenue, NYC, 2025.All the pixels, none of the tolls, at flickr.com/photos/mattblaze/54#photography

A simple industrial art deco-style building, lacking windows, but with a narrow louvered vent at center running vertically along its length, on a city street.

There are also ventilation structures for the various railroad and subway tunnels that cross the NYC rivers, but their smaller size makes them less prominent. (The electric trains that use these tunnels don't produce exhaust that has to be as aggressively vented as in an automotive tunnel).Let me just mention that photographing buildings from across the major avenues during the day in midtown Manhattan is like playing a video game in "extreme hardcore" mode.
