NYC over 100 years ago


New York City - 42nd Street in 1910
With the United Nations convening this week in New York City, and all the eyes of the world focus on this big city and reflect on the many speeches to be delivered there this week by leaders of nations, I want to take you back to over 100 years ago and see what New York City looked like back then. Three more photos will be on my post tomorrow, and so, here are 4 images of the city that never sleeps. 
New York City Public Library in 1915
Observe the cars and clothing of the people, with most many wearing top hats. Most building shown are still standing today, and well preserved.
