Description |
[(This bracketed description is not from the Getty Museum or the Google Art Project.) On the right of the picture is the extant E. V. Haughwout Building, occupying the northeast corner of the intersection of Broadway and Broome Street, and at left is 495 Broadway, which is north of Broome Street, so the camera must be at Broome Street, rather than south of it. Haughwout opened in 1857 (LPC:11 and 42) and by late 1859, 495 Broadway had been replaced by a new cast-iron building for Grover and Baker (Gobright:113, SA:303 and this image with a similar view), so the picture must have been taken in 1857, 1858, or 1859. Also of dating interest are the signs on the side and front of 501 for Stodart & Morris, established in 1856 (Clinkscale:360 col. 1); the photo-related business of E. Anthony had taken over 501 by May 1860 (Gobright:145). The St. Nicholas Hotel comprises both the white building (c.) and the dark building just north (right) of it.
