Hard to tell from that small fragment of the building... could it be the Milder with all its' cornices still intact?

Other interesting perspectives in this image are the Book Building before the tower to the right was built [[in the mid 20s). We can see the courtyard or light well that is no longer visible.

Also nice view of the Whitney Building before the regrettable mid 20th century remodeling removed all its' ornament. The now gone Statler also had a lot of its ornament and urns removed in the mid 20th century to "modernize" it.

We also see the Madison Building [[no Eaton/Broderick Tower behind it yet) with its' auditorium intact... [[the windowless portion to the left).

Also, the hodgepodge of low level buildings in the foreground will be destroyed within about 18 months for the completion of the [[Jan. 1922 opening) Capitol Theatre. In the right distance we see the Kales Building and [[what is now only a facade) the Fine Arts Building [[Adams Theatre entrance) to the right of it. In between them is that narrow dark stone faced 7 story Hurley Hospital, long since razed.

One other interesting oddity is in the foreground. Are those lawns with long walkways in front of the houses along Madison Avenue? That empty property appears to be what was used to turn Madison Ave. from a narrower street into a wide boulevard. It may have been city owned all along and just not used to widen Madison until circa 1920.
