Vintage Photographs of Broadway and Times Square at Night Circa 1911

Our friends at Stuff Nobody Cares About recently dug up these great vintage photographs showing Broadway and Times Square at night circa 1911.

The glow of streetlights wash out some portions of this interesting view of Broadway looking south from 43rd Street in Times Square. But for the most part, many details can be seen in this unusual nighttime view taken by The Detroit Photo Company.

Check out the full article for some excellent sleuthing to determine the approximate year the photos were captured.
