The building in this view is called The Promenade, a name that suggests a walkway or a row of shaded streets, and the record identifies it as an apartment house designed for a client named Landow. It is the second image in a group of architectural views, so it shows one part of a larger project rather than a standalone commission. Apartment houses of this kind became common in American cities in the late 1800s and early 1900s, as growing populations pushed families out of single-family homes and into multi-unit buildings. Prints like this one were often made to show clients and the public how a design would look from the street, so attention to the facade and its ornament is worthwhile.
