Photo shows the Worth Monument and buildings on Broadway and West 25th Street, in the 1860s. The old Worth House is on the right. The five-story building on the northwest corner of 25th Street became part of Worth House and later was also part of Hoffman House. The St James Hotel, built in 1857 and demolished in 1896, is on the southwest corner of 26th Street, behind the monument. The area is the junction of Broadway and Fifth Avenue.
