The image is a vintage postcard depicting "Park Row Building" in New York City from around 1917. The photograph shows an ornate skyscraper with multiple setbacks and decorative architectural elements such as cornices and finials on the top floors, which were common features of late Victorian architecture transitioning into early modernist styles during that era.

The building stands prominently against a clear sky, surrounded by other structures indicative of urban development in New York. These surrounding buildings are less prominent but show similar historical architectural details like ornate trimmings and signage for various businesses or advertisements from the period.

Below the image, text provides context: "PARK ROW BUILDING, NEW YORK" indicates the building's name and location, while additional information includes its establishment date ("1917") and notes about it being an old postcard produced by a specific company in New York. The colors are muted with sepia tones typical of vintage prints or photographs from that era.

This image serves as historical documentation of urban architecture during the early 20th century, showcasing the aesthetic preferences and structural innovations characteristic of that time period within one of America's most iconic cities.

The image depicts a black and white vintage postcard featuring the Park Row Building in New York City. The photograph captures two high-rise buildings with ornate architectural details, including setbacks on their facades that create an impression of height through massing variation. In front of these structures is a street scene with several individuals walking along the sidewalk; however, due to the image's age and quality, faces are not clearly discernible. There’s also what appears to be a group gathered or standing in one area near the right edge. The postcard has text at the bottom indicating its title: "Park Row Building, N.Y. City." Additional printed information includes reference numbers for National Art Views Co., presumably cataloging this image within their collection of urban architecture photographs from New York City.

The image depicts a vintage postcard featuring the "Park Row Building" in New York City. It's an old, multi-story skyscraper with ornate detailing at its topmost sections and American flags flying atop it on three visible flagpoles. The building is situated within what appears to be an urban environment of early 20th-century architecture, as evidenced by the surrounding structures that have a similar historical design language. The scene in front shows a street leading up to the park row buildings with few pedestrians and no modern vehicles or technology indicative of contemporary times. There's text at the bottom identifying "816 PARK ROW BUILDING, NEW YORK" along with what seems like an old address number for Park Row.
