A Foggy Day: 1943

View Larger Map

This is looking across South Street to the southwest. The street disappearing behind the building in the extreme left is Fulton Street.

This might be looking southwest from the East River towards Lower Manhattan. You can see the buildings more clearly here:

The American International Building is one of them I'm pretty sure, and another is the Trump Building, both of which are south of where the Market was.

This has to be a montage. The Fulton Fish Market is on the river. This photo was taken facing east. The buildings shown behind it are to the west. Check out the June 1943 photo by Parks which Dave submitted on 11/02/2007, Fulton Street: 1943. You can see the same buildings in a shot facing west.

[You're mistaken. You can see the fish market roof at the far left in the other photo. This view is facing west. - Dave]
