East Village resident Felton Davis just shared this ... a scan from one of several hundred Kodachome slides from the World Trade Center Observation Deck from the 1970s (this particular shot is circa 1978)... showing the neighborhood (and more) from a similar angle...
Also, as a bonus, here's a photo at sunset showing the shadow of the Twin Towers extending all the way across the East River and into Williamsburg...

That Time.com Gigapan thing is going to occupy me for the REST OF MY LIFE THANK YOU
That's really cool.
Greatest 'Top 'o the World Trade Tower' picture I ever saw, was a postcard I bought when I first moved to NYC. It was titled "Moon Over Manhattan". I've just found a copy of the image on the interwebs.

The thing that amazes me about the Kaplan photo (aside from Riley having the steadiness of nerve to actually stand-up on the edge of the antenna AND pull his pants down) is; where the hell did Kaplan shoot the photograph from?
