It's looking to the south east... if you click on the image, then you can see some familar landmarks...such as Tompkins Square Park and the two old steeples at St. Brigid's...I keep staring at it and finding something different...

A view toward the Williamsburg Bridge circa 1913
Was poking around Shorpy.com when I found this photo... Summer 1913. "Bird's eye view of N.Y.C. from roof of Consolidated Gas Building." George Grantham Bain Collection.

Wow, I never saw 13th St and 2nd Ave before the NY Telephone Building. In a way I grew up right there. Very nice find.
Also at the bottom left, near the elevated subway station is the Jefferson Theater and also a recent photo from about 10-15 years ago
