At 176 Broadway stood the Title Guarantee & Trust Building, home to a company that researched and insured property titles during a period when New York real estate deals depended on clean ownership records. The photograph, dated around 1906, was made by New York photographer Irving Underhill, whose copyright registration on the print suggests it was produced for wider distribution. Office buildings like this one, rising in lower Manhattan's financial district, show how steel-frame construction let Broadway's commercial facades climb ever higher above the street in the early twentieth century.
