Thanks for the story link Dan, I had missed this. The Times presentation is a then-and-now story. What I would like to know is how I can find and retrieve the shot of my mother-in-law’s family residence on 42nd St… I found and viewed the location a few years ago via Google Street View but the old building has been replaced by an apartment complex. I’ll need to do some digging on the NYC sites to see if I can locate the photo.
