This image beautifully captures a moment.

1)The awning where I've added a note in the photo appears to say Knox's Hats. According to this blog entry, Arnold Hatters aka Knox Hats started out in Times Square. There's a 2005 New York Times story included. So perhaps this photo is from the times Times Square area way back when -- where Broadway and 7th Avenue intersect.. 2)The lettering on the building (see another note in the photo) refers to the Garfield National Bank. According to an historic New York Times article, this bank was favored by Tammany Hall politicians. So again it appears that this photo is from Manhattan.

Looking at the hi-res version of this pic on the LOC site, there's a whole lot of text otherwise invisible on the Flickr photo. The cars have what appear to be signs with the last names of athletes--including Dukes, Donohue, Forhsaw, Erickson, Grumpelt, Gillis, Hellawell, Hebner, Hammond, Breed, Bowman, Rayner, Kiviat, and Kramer. (I've put notes on the photo detailing the barely-visible text.) Also, while it's a little blurry, there's a sign that appears to say "W 24 ST," which would make this NYC's Madison Square Park and environs. Maybe this was taken from the Flatiron Building?

Oh yeah. That building on the left has to be 200 Fifth Avenue a.k.a. the International Toy Center Building. So this is definitely around Madison Square Park.

Those are cable cars on the right. Though, I can't find a map of any NY cable car system

In the bottom photo, on the right, you can see the tower of the Stanford White designed Madison Square Garden, built in 1890, demolished 1925. If you look closely, you can make out the nude statue of the goddess Diana, on the very top.

This is the original heavier statue that was sent to Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition: digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?1691077
