HOWELL'S PHOTOGRAPHIC ART STUDIO

867 & 869 BROADWAY

This is how 18th Street & Broadway looked in the 1870's. Part of Howell's studio sign (at the address of 867 & 869) can be seen to the far left (red arrow). It fully read "Howell's Photographic Art Studio". The imposing five-story marble Hoyt Building across the street (871-873) is still standing as is the flag-flying Lord & Taylor's building in the distance. Horse-drawn trolley cars and omnibuses both had scheduled runs along Broadway. The cost was 5 cents a ride.

The photograph above shows the Hoyt Building at 18th Street and Broadway. Howell's studio was three doors down in the direction of the red arrow.
