The highest-resolution version of the photo available on the LOC website shows that this photo was taken on East 57th Street in Manhattan. It's not exactly clear what cross-street it is, though: it could be 2nd Avenue, because the block on 2nd Ave. between 57th and 58th currently has a reasonably well-preserved set of townhouses similar to the ones in the photo (though the corner now has a McDonald's).

Hadn't realized this before, but this must have been taken from the roof of the New York Public Library's 42nd Street building (west side, facing south)

The NYPL's roof is in the foreground. This photograph appears to have been taken from the north side of 42nd Street. Lovely.
