ニューヨーク・タイムズのインスタグラム(nytimes) - 2月8日 02時32分

By the time this picture was published in January 1913, the winds whipping around the #FlatironBuilding had become notorious. The clothier Gibson N. Vincent sued the building’s owners in 1903, shortly after it opened, contending that the winds in its vicinity had shattered the plate-glass windows of his store across the street twice in just 2 weeks. The Times attributed the death of a messenger boy to a ferocious wind coming off the building as he tried to round the northern corner, knocking him from the sidewalk into the path of a car. So it qualified as a daredevil act when the people seen here attempted to traverse what #nytimes called the “gale-swept crossing north of the Flatiron Building,” where #Broadway slices across Fifth Avenue at 23rd Street — an intersection that, aside from the lack of streetcars, looks very much the same today. The Pictorial News Co. took this photo. Visit the link in our profile to see more New York #blizzard scenes, and visit @nytarchives for more throwback photos. #tbt
