W. corner of Broadway and Dey Street. This structure after several vicissitudes was finally demolished and replaced with a 28-story structure in 1913. About 1875 Gift of H.D. Jouett (2) The same at a later date, and showing a more extensive view up Broadway. To the right are, St. Pauls Chapel and the old Astor House. Close observation will disclose the 2-story addition to the fourth structure from the left. This adjoins the building at the S. W. corner of Dey Street. About 1885 Gift of Urbrock Collection
