    Spectacular Holly! Great thread, thanks! The funny thing is, NYC didn't change all that much from 1911 through the fifties when I grew up. The building boom didn't really start for decades after my childhood.

    I haven't been to New York since the 1970s, but there were a number of those old buildings still standing then, especially in the lower part of Manhattan, around the "Village" and "Hello Dolly" areas. I seem to remember a preserved street called "The Mews". Is that still there, @Lulu Moppet?

    Beautiful @Holly Saunders. Thanks for sharing. I'm amazed at what can be done with photography these days.

    If you mean the street off Washington Square Park & 5th Avenue, it is called Washington Mews and is owned by NYU. Yes, still there, housing professors mostly, I believe.

    This is currently my favorite building in lower Manhattan. Makes me dizzy! It's like it's moving!

    OMG, just look at those people on the beach! Things have certainly changed since then, haven't they?

    Yes for sure... we were laughing about all that clothing. I was wondering if they didn't have ''vintage sun'' in California ... :D...still, I bet Skin cancer was virtually unknown.. :eek:

    I love all this historical every day life stuff....

    My mum was just 4 or 5 when this film was shot, she could have been one of those little kids if she'd lived in NY...
