Fifth Avenue: 1913
Fifth Avenue at 51st Street in New York circa 1913. View full size. 5x7 glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection.
Fifth & 51st
If that motor bus is indeed heading to 22nd street it's on the wrong side of the avenue. Downtown (south) traffic would be on the other side.

Then and Now
I wish we could see them altogether side by side for comparison.
Fifth and 51st Then and Now
I really enjoy looking at the street views from then, and then today. Google's Street View of the same intersection today.
[The Satellite View is also interesting. Stitched together from two shots of wildly differing perspective. - Dave]
