EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of early 20th-century industrial America. Taken around 1911, it showcases the direct load coal elevators of the Interboro Rapid Transit Company on W. 58th Street in New York City. The misty atmosphere adds an air of mystery to the scene, as if revealing a hidden world behind the facade. The image portrays a bustling riverbank filled with warehouses and docks, where cranes stand tall against a hazy backdrop. These imposing structures symbolize the power and significance of natural resources like coal during this era. They serve as vital connectors between river transportation and land-based industry. The photographer, William Davis Hassler (1877-1921), skillfully captures this moment in time when America's rapid industrialization was at its peak. His lens focuses on the intricate details of these massive elevators that played a crucial role in fueling American progress. This historic photograph from the collection of the New-York Historical Society offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American history: one defined by innovation, industry, and growth. It serves as a reminder of how our nation relied on such infrastructure to propel itself forward economically. As we admire this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of our past but also how far we have come since then.
