Old New York In Photos #68 – Broadway and Fifth Avenue 1933

This vintage photograph from September 10th, 1933, shows the Flatiron Building, looking south from the intersection of Broadway and 5th Avenue.

Looking south from 26th Street and Fifth Avenue, this sidewalk level view was taken by a tourist and dated on the back, September 10, 1933. The focal point was obviously meant to be the world famous Flatiron Building at 23rd Street where Fifth avenue and Broadway meet.

Check out the accompanying article for some more analysis on the photo.
