The southeastern corner of 42nd St and 2nd Avenue, then and now.
Mid-1920s
The original photograph made of the south side 0f 42nd Street shows the following, from left to right: the Church of the Covenant (built 1871); two rooming houses; the elevated train tracks along Second Avenue (constructed 1878); and the city beyond.

The area shows marked development over 100 years. The Church of the Covenant remains in place ‒ the only building still standing ‒ and now props up the Hotel Tudor (1930), and next to it, 300 E. 42nd Street, built in 1963. The elevated train tracks were removed in 1942; the addition to the Daily News building was constructed in 1958.
Thank you again for sharing your talent and time! Love getting these posts about our beloved Tudor City
