EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1923, offers a glimpse into the rich history of New York City's iconic Times Square and Broadway. The image, looking up Broadway from the bustling square, showcases two of the city's most iconic structures: The New York Times Building on the left, and The Hotel Astor, located beyond. The New York Times Building, with its distinctive Beaux-Arts architecture, was completed in 1913 and served as the headquarters of The New York Times until 2007. Its towering structure and grand entrance made it a symbol of journalistic excellence and a landmark in the city. Beyond the Times Building, the Hotel Astor stands proudly, a testament to the city's hospitality industry. Opened in 1904, this historic hotel was a favorite among celebrities and high-profile guests, including Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, and President Calvin Coolidge. Its elegant design and prime location made it a must-stay destination for visitors to the city. The energy and excitement of Times Square can be felt in this photograph, with the hustle and bustle of the crowd reflected in the glass windows of the buildings. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the magic and allure of New York City during the Roaring Twenties. This photograph is a treasure trove of historical information, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the rich history that continues to shape the city that never sleeps.
