Editing Nielson Field (section)

== Nielson Tower ==
In the succeeding years, various uses were found for the Nielson Tower, a two-story concrete structure designed to resemble an airplane from a bird's-eye view. At one point, it served as the headquarters of a police detachment. It also housed the offices of the Ayala-owned Integrated Property Management Corporation for several years.

From the late 1970s up to April 1994, a group of Filipino investors leased the tower for a semi-private, first-class club and restaurant, as it is opposite [[The Peninsula Manila]] hotel. In 1996, after almost two years of renovation work, the Nielson Tower became the home of the [[Filipinas Heritage Library]] before its transfer to the [[Ayala Museum]].  In 2014, Nielson Tower became the home of an upscale restaurant and bar called Blackbird, which uses the former controlroom as its upper dining floor.
