Fifth Avenue: Easter 1913

Fifth Avenue: Easter 1913

Easter 1913, New York. 5th Avenue going south. View larger. George Grantham Bain Collection.

Nice hat

If you look in the rear view window of the nearest car you can see a gentleman wearing a fine hat, and (what appears to be) a lady sitting to his left. It's fun to imagine where they might have been going that day dressed so fine.

Looks two-way to me

Beautiful photo! But it looks two-way to me. (easier to see in larger size).

[Nobody said it was one-way. The comment below is asking when Fifth Avenue changed from the two-way traffic shown in the picture to the one-way street it is now. The answer is: 1966. - Dave]

One way street

When did 5th Avenue become a one way street?

[In 1966 - Dave]
