Vintage Photo: Teddy Roosevelt and Horse, Shrouded for Maintenance, Museum of Natural History NYC June 1988

When I took this one, the workers were sandblasting, painting  or doing something else messy.  Teddy Roosevelt, his horse and Indian Guide had to be wrapped up.  I just heard that there is some talk of removing this monument, given the interest in removing offensive statuary.

Vintage Photo: Nice Old Building at 14th Street and Irving, Now Demolished, NYC 1990

I loved looking at this building and was sad when it was taken down for a new, ugly store.  I wondered if it looked across at an Opera House, which used to be on 14th Street at the turn of the 20th century.
