Since the Woolworth opened in April 1913, this photo would have to date some time before it.

We'll narrow the date range and add the area of New York City from the tags!

I wonder what building this photo was taken from . . . Look at how tiny all the buildings around it look.
Michael Daddino said:
This was likely taken from the Singer Building, and if not that, the City Investing Building. Both of them are gone.
