This is Fifth Avenue 107 years ago. It was the main parade route downtown. The photo was taken with an 8x10 glass negative camera, so the detail is quite good. You can zoom in to find your great-grandmother turning heads, or your grandfather as a boy. The Hotel Henry was among the hotels built by Henry Frick, hence the name. Zoom in and you will see the forerunner of the landmark Kaufmann's clock mounted on a post at the corner. Perhaps a car enthusiast out there can tell us something about the one automobile in the street.
