Answer found! Thanks to an FB comment from my internet buddy Kyle (see it here) I now know the building under that antenna is the DuMont Building. Yes, "DuMont" as in the failed television network. Turns out the building and the mysterious tower was the original home of not just the DuMont network but of WNYW--which would eventually become DuMont, the first licensed television broadcast network in the US. Read more about the DuMont Building or more about WNYW/DuMont on their respective Wikipedia pages.
