Here is the video of New York City in the twenties. The documentary movie is implemented with short descriptions of every scene. I thought it would be interesting to see how the City lived more than 90 years ago.

Resources: Ira H. Gallen Video Resources that have spent over 30 collecting and restoring from 16mm & 35mm Film Prints and Kinescopes some of the rarest and in many cases one of a kind FILMS.

    From a historical point of view, this video is an amazing article. I walk by some of those buildings and streets everyday, a few that have become landmarks, and it’s inspiring to know that they existed almost a century before my time.

    The video is very interesting, it shows the various changes in the city, with some more dramatic than other. Alot of the buildings in wall street still exist today.
    One thing I found very interesting is that trams uses to operate in the city.
