Something strange about this ConEd Building photo...
Right. No dorms or other high rises around it... Anyway, I always appreciate the archival items that EV Grieve reader Mykola (Mick) Dementiuk finds and sends along...such as this shot of the ConEd building via 1957 (from Life magazine).

Great photo. Christoper Gray wrote about the building in the lower right, The German Savings Bank, in this past Sunday's Streetscapes. There's a pre-Con Ed photo (1872) here:

I actually started watching it last night Mick!
ReplyDeleteHad never seen it before, for whatever reasons. Nice shot of the St. Mark's Church in the Bowery too in part five — around the 8-minute mark.
Natalie Wood!! Ahhh true grace and beauty.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Ken. She works at a Macy's counter here....
