W. 59th Street, north side, from Columbus Circle (right of No. 3) to Columbus Avenue (left of No. 1) as viewed from a clearance on the south side, showing a panoramic set of 3 views. No. 1 shows a row of tenements (No's 333 to 349) and a glimpse of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Paul the Apostle; the latter being at the S.W. corner of Columbus Avenue and W. 60th Street and is an outstanding feature of New York containing numerous works of art. No. 2 shows buildings near the Circle. These bear No's. 311 and 313-315. They are repeated in No. 3, being at the foot of the 23 story Gotham National Bank Building (No. 307). Note that the latter is not on the Circle as a thin veneer of structures line same. September 4, 1938. Views 1, 2 and 3. P.L. Sperr
