This photo was taken on East 17th Street in New York City, in front of Union Square. Two of the buildings in the background are the Century Building a.k.a. 33 East 17th Street (currently a Barnes & Noble) and 200 Park Avenue South.

Also, based on this and several other New York Times articles, it seems that the photograph commemorates what was for some time an annual event: an "Orphans' Automobile Day" where all the orphans in the city would be driven via auto to Coney Island.

Here's a photo of those buildings today. The one with the big arch has been replaced by the glass AT&T structure.

Interesting that they were hauling orphans to Luna Park only ten days after Dreamland burned: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2162672387/

This image appears to be reversed left-to-right.

braindonor: You're right, the image was reversed. We've fixed it here and in our own catalog ( www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html ). Thanks for catching it.

The building in this photograph is the Cowtown Coliseum (built in the winter of 1907-08 in 88 working days) on East Exchange Avenue in the Fort Worth Stockyards. It is still in use today, but not for the annual Livestock show. The Fort Worth Livestock Show moved to Will Rogers Coliseum in 1940 because it had outgrown this venue. The stock show has been there ever since. I am a former Stockyards tour guide who gave tours through this building. It's a beauty.
