Broadway, west side, north from and including 38th Street. In the centre background, from 39th to 40th Streets, is the Metropolitan Opera House. Beyond the Metropolitan is the twelve-story Emerson Building, and beyond that is the 33-story Bricken-Textile Building. Above this is the Times Building, and in the distance is the Hotel Astor. July 10, 1932. P. L. Sperr.
