The title places this view at Watertown Square, a name shared by several American towns, so the record's New York City filing is worth checking against the location itself. In 1909, squares like this one were usually the center of daily life, with streetcars, delivery wagons, and pedestrians sharing the open space and storefronts lining its edges. Views like this document a period when city streets were built around foot traffic and horses, before the automobile reshaped them.
