This appears to be snow that fell around the 23rd and 24th of January, 1908.

Academy of Music

Submitted by Paumanok on Sat, 03/08/2008 - 10:21am.

The Academy of Music is seen in the background at the northeast corner of East 14th and Irving Place. Demolished in 1926, it was rebuilt just across 14th Street.
