OP: (photograph) 2nd Ave and 55th St (1915)
8” x 10” photo looking south on 2nd Ave. from 55th St. Many brewery signs adorn the exterior of a bar/restaurant, including Finnegan & Brady, James Everard, and Oriental. Shuttered doors on both the north and the west side of the building. A sign advertising hot and cold lunch (clam chowder!) out front where two men pose, hands in pockets. Very attractive art nouveau flourishes. 2nd Ave. is bustling with pedestrians and shopkeepers.
Very minor chipping to the corners.
