This is the landward facade of the Casino at Monte Carlo. This side of the building has been altered since this photo was made, but it is still recognizable. Here's a modern photo from Wikimedia Commons. A modern photo of the seaward facade,largely unchanged, shows the distinctive towers and roof more clearly.

Aye, it's le Casino de Monaco.

Thanks! You've made this picture findable!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Astonishing Power of Flickr, which was created to celebrate discoveries made about photographs posted on Flickr, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

In the hi-res version of this picture available on the Library of Congress site, you can see a street sign that says "Place Masséna." The Place Masséna is one of the landmarks of the city of Nice in France. The buildings in this and many other photos of the Place Masséna closely resemble those in the photo here.

Place Massena indeed. Yet another quality old photo of Nice. Excellent!

I was at this intersection just today, watching the Christmas festivities in Nice. This is a view down Avenue de Verdun, and to the right is Place Massena (and further north, Avenue Jean Medecin). If you follow Avenue de Verdun in present day, it will bear left and end on the Promenade des Anglais.

Thanks a lot! You've quickly pinned down another view that wasn't listed in the 1905 "Detroit Publishing Company" sales catalog. Usually, we could rely on that book to figure out a location as long as there was an identification number like "1167."

Another view of Monte Carlo, Monaco, with the two towers of the Casino seen beyond the harbor and part of the old fortifications since converted into the Fort Antoine Theatre in the foreground.

Bang on whyaduck!

Thanks very much! A new, informative, title is in place, using what you found.
