Mysteries solved!
Several of you wrote in to tell us about the buildings in the photos below.
Photo 204 is a shot of the Uptown Anchor Furniture building on the corner of Vine Street and McMicken Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. One reader helped date the photo by noticing the movie playing across the street at the Uptown Theatre is "Stella" which starred Ann Sheridan and Victor Mature and premiered in 1950.
Readers identified the building in photo 205 as the Flatiron Building at 401 E. Court St. in Cincinnati, which still stands. Another observant reader said the Metropolitan sign in the bottom right belonged to a car dealer and the cars pictured were sold between 1953 and 1961 -- a clue as to when the photo was taken.
