1930

General view - [Manhattan - 39th Street (West) - 6th Avenue (Northeast).]

65 W. 39th Street, at the N. E. corner of Sixth Avenue, (general view northeastward). A series of three similar views from the above location across Bryant Park and the New York Public Library to Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street intersection. The latter is plainly shown and predominates with the Salmon Tower Building (No. 11 W. 42nd Street). Adjoining same to the left is the 18 story Aeolian Building (No. 29-33 W.). To the right is the Lefcourt National Building, a structure that replaced the Temple Emanuel at the N. E. corner of Fifth Avenue and 43rd Street. This today would be obscured from this vantage point as the 500 Fifth Avenue Building was subsequently erected adjoining the Salmon Tower. Note the Grand Central Building in the background. February 28, 1930 Views: 1, 2 and 3 P. L. Sperr
