Welcome to Cornerspotter, Curbed's game in which you try to identify the location and/or identity of a particular building or streetscape in a historic photograph. Impress us and your fellow Curbed readers with your uncanny insight into New York City and its past!
This photo was taken about a year before this beautifully carved facade was lost forever when the building was knocked down. The structure stood for more than 70 years, and it saw one major redesign after a fire destroyed the building. It's now been gone for longer than it existed, but its tall neighbor still stands today. Do you know where and what this building was?
