General view - Midtown Manhattan (East side).
General View Midtown Manhattan, area north of 57th Street, east side: The views are northeastward from Radio City across the upper East 50's and 60's. The group of white buildings in the center background is the New York Hospital on the East River. The skyscrapers in the left foreground are in the 57th-59th Street area along Fifth and Park Avenues. In the background is the Hellgate Bridge over the East River and the borough of Queens (right). The Harlem River can be seen (left) branching off from the East River and the peninsular area lying between the two is the Bronx. P. L. Sperr August 9, 1933 Views 1,2
