Description
Photograph of a view of Pershing Square from the Pershing Square Building, showing a street on the left, 1930. A long street with automobiles driving down its center and others parked along its sidewalks extends from the left foreground to the left distance.

The Paramount Building stands with its label printed beneath a water tower stands on the left with a larger building behind it. State Life of Indiana stands at the beginning of a long line of buildings behind Pershing Square while more giant buildings including the Knickerbocker Building stand across the street on the right side of the park.
