<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 407497, member: 201&quot;]This is a photo of the McGraw Hill building in New York City. It&#039;s about 14&quot; x 10&quot;. The reason I&#039;m asking, is that eBay photo categories are Contemporary (1940-now) and Vintage and Antique (before 1940).</p><p><br /></p><p>The building was built in 1931 and is on 42nd Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues. Since that&#039;s the west side of Manhattan and there&#039;s a body of water in the photo, I think the view is towards the west, showing a bit of the Hudson River.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking that the fact there are no other tall buildings could help date the photo, but the west side wasn&#039;t build up much for a long time so I&#039;m not sure how big a help it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the building was new its Art Deco styling was highly regarded, so maybe the photo was taken in the early &#039;30s when it was considered something new and fresh?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]141965[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
