Description of photo:

 

The famous Coca-Cola ad, photographed in 1938 by Berenice Abbott (through another alcohol ad), stood for decades until the building supporting it was bulldozed in 1966.

The site then hosted the Gulf & Western Building, which was remodeled into the Trump International Hotel in the 1990s.

 

Image Title:  Columbus Circle, Manhattan.  

Creator: Abbott, Berenice, 1898-1991 -- Photographer 

Created Date: February 10, 1938 

Notes

 Looking Northwest from above the circle, statue of Columbus, B&O bus station topped with Coca-Cola sign, other signs, Central Park with snow.

 

 

 

 

A slightly different camera angle in the teens or 1920s reveals more billboards: for cigarettes and cars.
