woolworth

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

I wonder where the photo was taken from.

Probably from the Singer Building, maybe the City Investing Building.

Sorry for slow reply. We'll narrow the date range and add the area of New York City from the tags.

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.

This image is part of the Indicommons.org tribute to New York City on its *400th* anniversary.

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

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!

wow, very interestin pic!!!

I wonder what building this photo was taken from . . . Look at how tiny all the buildings around it look.

This was likely taken from the Singer Building, and if not that, the City Investing Building. Both of them are gone.
