Bank buildings bearing the Gillender & Hanover name stand at the center of this c1906 view of New York City, a detail that sets it apart from the other street scenes on this board. The caption card's subject tags point to a busy commercial block, with banks, department stores, and hotels sharing the street with elevated and street railways. By the mid-1900s, Manhattan's elevated lines and trolleys ran along the avenues and carried crowds past such storefronts and office buildings daily. Because the record comes from an older caption card and has not been independently verified, the exact location and firm history are best checked against the original source.
