Upon this site was constructed a 21-story structure (No. 485) that adjoins the Riverside Baptist Church. The latter, built at that date, would stand on the left, occupying the S.E. corner of West 122nd Street. Partially seen on the left is the tower atop the Chapel of the Union Theological Seminary. This set consists of a negative and a positive. November 15, 1926. Gift of Albert A. Volk Co.
