We refer to the building on left

as the "Equity Building" which is

still standing but the Miller Shoe

building is currently being torn

down to make way for a high rise

Sometime after this Bond Clothes

moved across the street at right

Chic Silber said...


The Broadway streetcar line ran on

those tracks most of the length of

the city from Columbia Heights to

the Battery Ferry Terminal

Ole Whitey said...

That's the corner of 46th Street and 7th Avenue where the I Miller store is seen.

Ole Whitey said...

Chic: Gotcha! Bond moved TWO blocks south.

Chic Silber said...


Although it's actually 7th Avenue

all the addresses between 42nd &

47th in the Times Square area are

listed as Broadway for prestige

Chic Silber said...


Yup Dave you got me but that's

what I meant that they moved across

the street (& another block down)

to the 45th to 44th streets block

Not always right but never wrong

They pulled the statues from the

I Miller building before demolition

They are supposed to be used again

in the new edifice to the sky

Chic Silber said...


Actor's Equity Association & many

other theatrical offices are still

in that building on the left

Ole Whitey said...

Chic: I think that's the building the old Newsreel Theater was in.

Chic Silber said...


That sounds right Dave & nowadays

its marquee & lobby has become the

Times Square information center

& the temporary entrance to 165

West 46th (The Equity Building)

Do you have more info or photos of Tiny Kline?

I would love to get a really high resolution scan of the Tiny Kline photo, to post on my blog (with credit to you of course!) at http://www.pepitoandjoanne.com/Pepito_and_Joanne/Blog/Entries/1917/11/1_Pepito_the_Clown_Mentioned_in_Tiny_Klines_Memoir_(1917).html
