    The building in the background is the Singer Building, the third tallest building ever destroyed (behind the two World Trade Center towers, of course). It was also the tallest building in the world From 1908-1909.

    the caption is wonderfully informative, if your eyes are up to the challenge.

    I know its truly NYC in the early 20th century , but it reminds me of the illustrations of that time of what it was thought that the city would look like in the 21st century ala Jules Verne.

    The Woolworth was completed in April 1913, so judging by its level of completion, this photo would have to date a little before then.

    Epicharmus: Thanks for pinpointing so many of the building names and dates! We'll update the description and re-load with the new information.

    Given the latest Wall St Bankers debacle there's a sense that history repeats.For the interesting ,alternative history overview of the US or our western financial system ; that has perhaps promoted a false engagement in several wars for the bankers profits, the Zietgeist movie clips are a ? must see or allow one to think outside the mainstream or square.See below. It can't all be dimissed? www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_149 10.cfm

    Is that the Staten Island Ferry? There was also a ferry that ran from Brooklyn to Staten Island, and many others I'm sure.

    In front of the Cotton and Coffee Exchanges is the Hanover Square Station of the Third Avenue Elevated, which was was the last of the Els to vanish. It made its last scheduled run in May 1955, demolished in 1956. William Russell Grace (1832-1904) was New York City's first Roman Catholic mayor in 1880. He opposed Tammany Hall, reformed the police, curbed vice, and reduced taxes- and was re-elected in 1884.
