A Day in New York 1920s in color [60fps,Remastered] w/sound design added
I colorized, restored and created sound design for this video of 1920s New York, the Lady Liberty shots, starting at around 1:00, we’re traveling north in Times Square with the old Astor Hotel on the left.
The next shot at 1:08 is looking north on Orchard Street towards Stanton.
At 1:16, we are traveling uptown on Park Row under the El, approaching Baxter
Then at 1:34, we jump to Harald Square with Macy’s on the far left, traveling north on Sixth Ave. along the old El.
After returning to Times Square again, we get a shot of Fifth Avenue, followed by a wider shot of Orchard 2:31.
The wacky superimposed shot at 2:51 is of the extant Paramount Building at 1501 Broadway, followed by a shot of the entrance to the Manhattan Bridge from under the Third Avenue El.
At 3:08, we’re traveling south along the Hudson River, with a nice shot of the Standard Oil Building at 26 Broadway just north of the old Produce Exchange Building (later replaced with the modern office building that was featured in Billy Wilder’s THE APARTMENT). The shot ends at the Battery.
At 3:48 is an overhead shot traveling north on Fifth, passing the Flatiron Building on 23rd and a small, oddly positioned parking lot in the middle of the avenue near Madison Sq Park.
After that, at 4:22, we’re traveling south, looking east towards the 59th Street Bridge and Roosevelt Island. Many of the stand-out skyscrapers survive today, including the then-just-completed New York Central Building at 230 Park Avenue with its large pyramidal roof.
At 4:46, we get a couple shots of the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River, the at 5:28, then switch over to the Hudson River with the Woolworth Building on the left side and the Art Deco NY Telephone Company Building on the right. After a couple more river shots, we get some easterly shots of the Woolworth Building at 6:31, with the Municipal Building and Brooklyn Bridge behind it.
At 6:56, we are looking west at the fountain in Washington Square Park (back when vehicular traffic was allowed to pass under the famed arch). It’s followed by a shot of Sheep Meadow, shortly before all the livestock got shipped out to Prospect Park.
As night falls at 7:37, we jump to Harlem and a view of the old black and tan nightclub, Connie’s Inn on 131st Street. It then ends with a couple night shots of Times Square. (Thx to gluecement)
