I came across a set of photos of New York City at the turn of the 20th century. These photos are breathtaking and a precious reminder of the roots of the city. So many different people and cultures came together on this small piece of real estate to make it the most dynamic and exciting city in the world. These photos are a snapshot of every day life and the growth that ensued over many years. Much of the origins of the old city remain today. Sometimes I feel like I take the city for granted, but these photos remind me of the grandeur and spectacle of New York City.
