["Today" photography not present in the file, but the caption for the photo in the Nonpareil reads:
"Today...the Strand theater occupies the same site at Sixth St. and Broadway on the northeast corner. It bears an ornate front, in sharp contrast to the old opera house."]]> [Photo of "Today" published in the Nonpareil isn't present in the file, but caption reads: "Today...a modern structure, the Hotel Chieftain, stands on the same corner. It replaced the burned out Grand Hotel in 1927. Typical of the contrast in years, modern autos line the street in comparison that ringed the old Grand."]]]> [same photo print, 14.5 x 10.25 cm, also in file][
["Today" photo print not present in file, but caption for it in the Nonpareil reads:
"Today...65 years later the same building appears to have undergone some remodeling but generally retains the same appearance. Ground floor contains a jewelry store, restaurant, and clothing store, but only a portion of the upper floors are now in use."]]]> [Photo print of 'Today" image is not present in the file, but the caption for the photo published in the Nonpareil reads:
"Today...the hill has all but vanished, with new homes having been built on the site, facing both on Fifth Ave. and and Third St. Modern machines made this change possible, with many thousands of yards of earth being moved to other parts of the city by truck in just a short period."]]]> [Note: Further research reveals that the photo/stereo card is ca. 1871-1876 and is actually the 300 block of Broadway. The building on the far left is S.S. Keller Furniture, at 346 Broadway; next is L.C. Empkie & Company Hardware, at 344 Broadway, then Osborne & White Furniture, at 342 Broadway. Osborne and White moved to the 400 block of Broadway in August of 1876. Information found in city directories and the Weekly Nonpareil.]]]>
