In the bottom photo, on the right, you can see the tower of the Stanford White designed Madison Square Garden, built in 1890, demolished 1925. If you look closely, you can make out the nude statue of the goddess Diana, on the very top.

This is the original heavier statue that was sent to Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition: digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?1691077

Union Square, looking west. The Old Madison Square Garden is in the backround, right.

Yes, that's the old Madison Square Garden, called that because it bordered Madison, not Union Square, and the view is looking to the east. This was taken from Broadway side of the General Worth Monument, shown encased in protection.

LOC --- your alteration of a key word in the Bain Agency's title on this photo from "Broadway" to "Brdway" is quirky, to say the least.
