Thanks B-59 for locating the identity of this woman. We'll include her full name and adjust the date range.

Since the Woolworth opened in April 1913, this photo would have to date some time before it.

We'll narrow the date range and add the area of New York City from the tags!

wow, very interestin pic!!!

I wonder what building this photo was taken from . . . Look at how tiny all the buildings around it look.

This was likely taken from the Singer Building, and if not that, the City Investing Building. Both of them are gone.

The building was completed in 1913, so this image must be from between 1910 and 1913.

Great! We'll narrow the date range and add the area of New York City and the Municipal Building identification from the tags.

World's tallest building, when it opened on April 25, 1913. Built for $13,500,000 -- and financed completely in cash by owner Frank W. Woolworth, the pioneer dimestore entrepreneur.

Also, the photo is looking North, you can see the Metropolitan Life building (completed in 1909) just to the left in the distance and the East River and Roosevelt Island on the right side of the photo off in the distance.

Since the Woolworth opened in April 1913, this photo would have to date just before it.

I wonder where the photo was taken from.

Probably from the Singer Building, maybe the City Investing Building.

Sorry for slow reply. We'll narrow the date range and add the area of New York City from the tags.
