Description
Colorized photo from 1920
Original Title: Broadway, Palais Royal
Photographer: Bain News
Location: 1580 Broadway at 47th Street
This scene had a very long exposure, there are just mere ghosts on this. There were headlight smears, that I actually colored in, but in the end thought they were distracting and removed them all.
Despite how blown out this looks, there was actually a lot of detail. You can even see what looks like a pile of boxes on the roof. There is also a box on the green roof, not sure why.
And if you look into the window of JL Marks, you'll see a small alien wearing a birthday hat. I looked up when people started seeing gray aliens, and while it goes back further than I thought, the 1940's is really when it started. So I can't understand why in the 1920's is there a thing in the window that looks a lot like a small alien with a body wearing a hat. It's possible I confused it with something else, but it really does look like that.
I'm unclear why this was photographed. It was taken by Bain news, so there is probably a news article about it some where. It's been open since 1913, I can't imagine a good reason it was shot.
This building or parts of it, still remains today. You can still sort of see the roof trim, but have to go back a few years on google to see it. The rest is gone.
