EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Gilsey House, situated at the bustling intersection of Broadway and 29th Street in New York City. Taken in 1906 by Byron Company, this silver gelatin print showcases the neoclassical architecture that was prevalent during the late 19th century. The imposing facade of Gilsey House stands tall against a backdrop of horse-drawn carriages and bustling street activity. The intricate details of its design are highlighted, including the Venetian windows and balustrades that adorn its exterior. This architectural masterpiece exudes elegance and sophistication, a testament to the craftsmanship of its time. Noteworthy is the presence of prominent establishments on its ground floor - offices belonging to Southern Railway and Thomas Cook Travel can be seen from this vantage point. These businesses add an element of liveliness to an already vibrant scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to early 20th-century Manhattan. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace but was no less dynamic or exciting. Preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history through photography. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid modernization, traces from our past continue to shape our present-day cityscape.
