Figuring out the exact day three old photos of New York City were taken

Pretty good building up potential possibilities, but the use of wall signage to give an end date is shaky-a friend makes a point of taking pictures of ghost signs-ones still visible and legible decades after the business closed. The building construction is more reliable. It’s fun how he felt compelled to make up a whole narrative for the photographer. (I also know lots of people who label every photo they ever took, even ones of their hometowns)
