    That appears to be St. Patrick's Cathedral across the street at right. I believe this is taken at the intersection of 5th and 50th, and we're looking roughly northeast toward 51st.

    All of these from NY seem to be 1913 based on the license plates on the motor cars. :)

    The Rovert Building was sold in 1913: this NYTimes story: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9807E0D6123BE633A... says "A Fifth Avenue sale representing an investment of nearly $500,000, formed the important feature of the market yesterday. The property sold was 588 Fifth Avenue, occupied by the six-story Rovert Building, on a plot 27.6 by 100. It is between Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth Streets, on the west side, separated by a single plot from the new home of the Black, Starr Frost jewelry firm, recently completed, on the southwest corner of Forty-eighth Street" which places this photo exactly.
  • Tris Mast said:
    Another clue that it is 1913 is the "Easter '13" at the top of the photo.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the additional information about the 1913 date. We will add it to the source data and upload the description.

    The bus is almost certainly a Fifth Avenue Coach Company route; here's a link to the archives at NYU which have many more photos (alas, not online that I could see) dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/nyhs/fifthave.html
