This vintage photograph shows the R.H. Macy and Co. building on 34th Street and Broadway in Herald Square in about 1905, long before it swallowed the whole block and became a tourist destination. Here is a Google Street View of what the building looks like today from approximately the same angle. Check out the specimen page on the Library of Congress Digital Archives for more info on the photo.
