The Chambers and Madison Streets streetcar line (aka Madison Street line) of the New York Railways was discontinued on Sept. 21, 1919. Cars on this line were battery powered. metro.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_streetcar_lines_in_Manhattan. This line ran east to west from the Grand St. Ferry on the East River to the Chambers St. Ferry on the Hudson, roughly on the route of the present day M22 bus line. books.google.com/books?id=2DA05tBefEsC&pg=PA888&l... metro.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_streetcar_lines_in_Manhattan It's possible this photo was taken to illustrate a story about the last day of the line's service. The streetcar is pictured traveling through the archway in Manhattan's Municipal Building on Centre Street and Chambers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Municipal_Building Street view (east through arch), June 1916: www.google.com/maps/place/Avenue+of+the+Finest,+New+York,... account of controversial closing of east side lines, NYT 9/19/19: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A04E6D9153AE0...

What an incredible building. It looks like a film set, not an actual structure .

This was the City Hall Post Office, originally between Broadway and Park Row in New York City. Its architect was A.B. Mullett. Built in 1878, it was maligned in its time as "Mullett's Monstrosity," and demolished in 1939. Roads and part of City Hall's park stand there today. The Municipal Building (which is still around) is shown under construction in the background.

Mullett also designed the Old (Eisenhower) Executive Office Building in D.C., which looks very similar:
