Description
Photograph of a view of Fifth Avenue in New York City, 1927. Multiple high-rise buildings can be seen lining the street at right, while the sidewalk is packed with pedestrians wearing coats and holding bags. A sign on a building at right reads, "To the New Hall of Fame. Brunswick. Play on any phonograph. New Hall of Fame". What appears to be a grass lawn or body of water can be seen in the left foreground.; The caption on the image reads: "Fifth Avenue, New York. The main thoroughfare of the city's wealth and fashion, famous for its wonderful shops, clubs, hotels and further up above 59th Street, for its many handsome residences of wealthy people.
