THE PERSON WHO OWNED IT SAID IT WAS THE ASTOR FAMILY AND THAT THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY G. W. PACH A VERY PROMINENT PHOTOGRAPHER WITH STUDIOS ON BROADWAY IN NEW YORK CITY.

I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A PERSON AT THE NEW YORK CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND THEY HAVE AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTIION OF PACH PHOTOS. THEY HAVE NOTHING LIKE THIS PANAORAMIC VIEW IN THIER COLLECTION.
