From the look of the cars, I’m guessing this photo of the corner of Broadway and 5th St was taken circa early 1920s. And from the decorations suspended above the intersection and those two white decorative ice castles (is that what they are?), it looks like it was taken during the holiday season. And from the strip advertisements two stories high, it seems Tilton’s and Boyd’s were going head to head in the suit trade. Tilton’s were cheaper at $22.50 but Boyd’s suits came with a second pair of pants, so gentlemen, the choice is yours.
This is how the Tilton’s building looked in May 2022:
You can barely see the icy decor on the left side too, so four at each corner? The woman with all the bags seems to be on a shopping binge…gotta get in there early. No smartphone ordering!
