Here the building is the Hotel Netherland, though the record gives no date and notes that the title comes from caption cards that have not been verified, so the exact location is uncertain. Hotels of that name were best known in New York, and the George Grantham Bain Collection holds many scenes from that city. Bain's agency was a news photo service that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives document street life, buildings, and public places of that era. Viewers may find the hotel's façade, signage, and the people and vehicles around it useful clues to when the picture was taken.
