    Wonderful! The railings are not yet built (see note), so earlier than the Phillips Collection photo.

    GoogleMapsStreetView has improved considerably for this spot since I last looked nearly four years ago.

    Please forgive my youthful exuberance and excitement on the comments of the Phillips photo - it was identifying that particular Phillips image location which first hooked me into these old photos. Oh dear ... !

    Excellent contribution. Your research, with bob meade, has greatly expanded the historical record and context.
