Notes: The New York Historical Society owns another copy of this print, which is dated 1875. "The many-towered Church of the Disciples on Madison Avenue at the souteast corner of 45th Street was a heavenly respite from the train shed of Grand Central (far left) and the splendor of Grand Central Station (far right). This view was taken by an unidentified photographer while the church, dedicated in 1873, was still new." (Source: Mary Black. Old New York in Early Photographs. NY: 1973, p. 167)
