English: Pabst Hotel on 42nd Street, from the southeast. The four-story buildings sharing the hotel's block have been demolished for subway construction. On the right in the photograph, from 43rd to 44th Streets on the west side of 7th Avenue, where decades later the Paramount Building was built, stands a block of four-story residential buildings called the Barrington Apartments. Also across 7th Avenue is Hammerstein's Victoria, left, with signs announcing Primrose & Dockstader's Minstrels, who played that theatre from February 10 to March 30, 1902.
