Anatomy of a Photo: THE MIDDLE PARK

Once again it's time to examine a photograph in detail. Today's subject is a study of the Middle Park, that isthmus of a park sandwiched between two larger versions. This shot was made in 1929, before the addition of Hotel Tudor.  

A zoom-in on the South Park, which at that time had a trellis (like the North Park) along its back wall. There is also an awful lot of fencing going on. 

The water tower of Hatfield House

The entrance to The Woodstock, along with a Bishops Crook light pole for night time illumination.

This large edifice is the about-to-open Daily News building.

Finally, an atmospheric view of people waiting on the platform for the 2nd Avenue El to arrive. Ah, long ago!
