West Side Broadway. 8th to 10th St. - 1899
Image depicts buildings on the west side of Broadway, old NYC, from 8th Street to 10th Street. The 9th St. is about the middle. Message from the publisher: "Going north from Eighth street begins the shopping district, and this extending up into the Thirties, is, at its upper end, compelled to divide the honors of supremacy with the hotels and theatres, some New York's principal hostelries being, however, still situated below the Thirties."
