East 36th Street (foreground), north side, between First and Second Avenues, showing a northerly view of the partially demolished St. Gabriel's Roman Catholic Church. This edifice faces on the south side of 37th Street, slightly east of Second Avenue. An entire block is being razed for the plaza approach to the Midtown-Queenns tunnel under the East River. Across the background are skyscrapers, which from left to right are, the Lincoln, Chanin and Chrysler. Buildings. P. L. Sperr May 26, 1939 Views: 1-2-3
