41. Columbus Circle
Columbus Circle
Description
Going on up Broadway to 59th Street we come to Columbus Circle, also one of the famous spots in the City, which marks the intersection of Eighth Avenue, Broadway and 59th Street, one of the busiest corners in the City. One entrance to Central Park is here. Maine monument at the entrance to the Park and Columbus monument at the intersection of the streets may both be seen. This section is known as Automobile Row. U.S. Tire Building, built in conformity with the new building code regulations, and the Fisk Tire Building are at the left in the picture. A large Negro section is to the right. The Circle is a wonderfully beautiful sight on a winter's night, with snow swirling and the lights shining through. Broadway loses much of its glory from this point northward and becomes a district of small retail shops of every sort with restaurants and all kinds of eating places interspersed. We shall leave Broadway for a time to go down and pick up some things of interest before going to the upper end of the City.

Wall Street today
Description
Along the street one finds such well known financial concerns as the First National Bank, J. P. Morgan & Co., Equitable Trust Co., Bank of Manhattan founded in 1799, National City Bank founded in 1812, and many other old and famous financial organizations. Wall Street is a little street with a great reputation. Less than a half mile long and little more than 30 feet wide, it contains skyscrapers to the value of $2,500,000,000, which house an office population larger than the whole people of Portland, and as many people going to and fro each day as are to be found in the State of Oregon plus all the people of Seattle, Washington.
50. Tenements, lower east side
Tenements, lower east side
Description
Without a backyard for the clothes line, the tenement housewife takes her washing to the roof or stretches her line between two fire escapes near her front window. To judge from the number of washings in sight almost any time in these tenement districts one concludes that cleanliness as well as godliness may be on an unusually high level among these crowded dwellers; but if one consents to follow information gleaned by his nose, as well as his eyes, on a trip through these streets, the danger of over-godliness will be decidedly less apparent.
