Park Avenue and East 85th Street, 1929

Late April, 1929, and Park Avenue, looking south from East 85th, (87th actually) doesn't seem remarkably different from today. The street had yet to be widened, and clusters of brownstones still peppered the avenue, but the luxury highrises were already the order of the day. According to the sign in the lower right, 1021 Park Avenue was being constructed as a "100% Cooperative Apartment."
