Mott Street is actually in Manhattan, not Brooklyn. We'll fix this in the catalog record.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mott_Street
"Mott Street (Chinese: 勿街; Jyutping: Mat6 gaai1) is a narrow but busy thoroughfare that runs in a north–south direction in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is regarded as Chinatown's unofficial "Main Street". Mott Street runs from Bleecker Street in the north to Chatham Square in the south.
...
Mott Street north of Canal Street was historically part of Little Italy. Today it is predominantly Chinese."

Similar to other images in this set, it appears to be the August 21, 1917 arrival of Belgian Diplomat Baron X in New York City. The stairs to City Hall are depicted.

NARA has similar images as part of records from the War Department (catalog.archives.gov/id/26431678 catalog.archives.gov/id/26431714)
