    I used to be a professional photographer. I developed my own film and printed my own photographs before color made it impossible for me. So I know how to see. You have a fine piece. I hope you find the photographer so you can share this with the world and give the correct attribution

    Ah, then you certainly do know black and white photos. I appreciate your kind words. :)

    I've tried searching various ways today, but sadly this photo hasn't popped up, just the similar one I posted previously.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I see a green cast, too. But I had to look at it to decide whether it seemed green to me, since I first thought sort of a light yellowish. It's more a pale yellow-green on my phone's screen. Haven't looked on a computer.

    Good thought on which devices shows what, @Figtree3 , I was checking on my computer (windows, firefox) and just checked on my phone (android, chrome).

    Green cast on my phone, as well.

    I like that Bronwen's post shows on the map right where the building is located!!!

    Good idea! I've used it before, but didn't think of using it for my photo. Off to see if it has my photo...

    Oh, well. The only photo they have of the McGraw Hill building is one I'd seen in Google before. :(

    I remember a few years ago finding a small mid-19th century engraving that I had in the NYPL site, which added a lot to my understanding about it.
