01   Park Avenue / Murray Hill Tunnel 1906 Lookin north on Park Avenue at 32nd Street.

The tunnel now used by cars, then used be streetcars was originally used by the New York and Harlem Railway, and an engine house and turntable once stood where you see the Park Avenue Hotel. 4th Avenue slowly section by section, from the late 1880's has changed name to Park Avenue. The building on the right is the 71st Regiment Armory which was torn down in 1926 Brown Brothers Photo   NYPL Image ID: 722023b
