Description
Hand colored photo from 1908, Sept 9
Original title: Returning summer crowd outside Grand Central
Photographer: Bain News
Location: 63 East 42nd Street, New York, NY
This is the second Grand Central station building, the invention of the active subway was created in 1904, so it was only running for 4 years when they photographed this. Underground travel isn't even new, it was created as early as the 1870's in very short runs, in very small cars.
We are on the left side of the building, you can see distant train cars where there is currently a street. Just beyond the smog, are apartments, that I assume at some point were demolished. There is a pharmacy across the street, and some crazy lady in a red dress, shadow boxing? Air guitar? No bow archery practice? We will never know.
