The new building of the Museum of the City of New York, designed by Joseph H. Freedlander in the Georgian/Federal/Adam style, opened on December 18, 1930. It is located at 1220–1227 Fifth Avenue between East 103rd and 104th Streets, across from Central Park, and houses more than 1.5 million objects. It's also a valuable source of photos for this blog!

Street Games
I’m working on a post on a street game right now and came across these great images from The Museum of the City of New York on write-up post on their Wordpress.
Do you doubt our boys would have been little terrors playing in the streets, even if maybe Steve shouldn't have been. I don’t know about you guys, but as a pre-teen without any sort of gaming console, prohibitively limited dial-up Internet, and no cable TV, I spent a great deal of my school holidays just roaming and exploring abandoned locations around my home, so street play isn’t a huge stretch for me. You would just be...outside and make games out of whatever was on hand. Was climbing a small hill made from old trash inadvisable? Yes. Was being a small female child biking around alone with no means of contacting anyone if I got into trouble or telling anyone where I was going also inadvisable? Yes. Did I do these things without a second thought? Also yes.
That was a tangent. Anyway, street play was a thing in the 20th century and here are some cool photos of kids playing from the early-20th century.

House of Worth | c. 1900 • • • Rather than the vivid jewel colors so frequently favored by Maison Worth, this afternoon dress turns to the graphic effect of simple black and white. The staggered widths of its woven stripes provide an optical resonance at the converging, mitered seam joins. The vision that has placed the most powerful seaming at the dress’s center front exemplifies the artistry and precision dressmaking that are emblematic of the house. • • • #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #defunctfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #houseofworth #charlesfrederickworth #mcny #victorian #edwardian #edwardianfashion #victorianfashion #stripes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm16o1vFE9g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uxm7qd3oqce4
