EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by William Davis Hassler in 1914, offers a glimpse into the bustling construction scene at the northern border of New York City. The image showcases Broadway at 263rd Street in the Bronx, looking northwards. In this historical snapshot, Italian laborers can be seen diligently working on constructing a stone retaining wall. The composition is filled with activity and movement as horse-drawn carts traverse the road while workers bid farewell to loved ones before embarking on their day's labor. This poignant moment captures the essence of immigration during that era, highlighting the significant role played by migrants in building America's cities. The presence of horses adds an additional layer of charm to this photograph, reminding us of a time when these majestic animals were integral to transportation and construction work. Their strength and grace are juxtaposed against the backdrop of urban development. Hassler's lens not only documents human endeavor but also provides insight into early 20th-century American society. It serves as a testament to both progress and cultural diversity within New York City. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this image stands as a valuable piece of history—a visual representation capturing an important chapter in America's growth and transformation.
