Manhattan: 6th Avenue - 49th Street (West)

Sixth Avenue, north from West 49th Street, showing the Sixth Avenue "El" and its 50th Street station at Rockefeller (Radio) City. The R.C.A. Building occupies the 49th to 50th Street frontage, while the R.K.O. Building is above, on the 50th to 51st block. Note the southbound train stopping for passengers. This is one of the last trips, as shortly the line is to be discontinued and the structure razed. View No. 2 is eastward on 50th Street and shows the wooden sides of this station silhouetted against the 70 story R.C.A. Building. March 1939 Views: 1-2 Wm. Herries
