N.Y. Skyline, 1913 (LOC)

  This seems to be a very famous picture; there aren't any reproductions of it. However, this picture was most likely taken from an observation roof, possibly the one atop one wing of the Immigration Station, Ellis Island. I really like this picture because it shows how different the NYC skyline used to be. It shows how NYC was during industrialization and how far we've come in terms of expanding.

  From the trail of foam in the water leading from the word "skyline" towards the upper left I'd have to say it was taken from the stern of a moving boat on the Hudson River. Can anyone name the buildings?

  Here are some similar views taken in the 1880s: The house in the second photo is the same as in the above photo. It is yet to be identified.

  Woolworth Building is under construction, seems to be about the same state as this photo. Commenter there says it was completed in April, 1913, so this must be at least a few months before that date... late 1912?
