NY Times

Nemo (18:25:39) : January 28, 2008

I think the “Columbia Hall” in the NY Times article was a different one from the one at Union St. & Fifth Ave. in Park Slope. The “Columbia Hall” with the connection to the cycling groups was over at 1239-41-43 Fulton St. The “Columbia Hall” in Park Slope housed a bowling alley and was a center for bowling enthusiasts.

The online Brooklyn Eagle at the BPL reveals at least six different “Columbia Halls” in the latter half of the 19th c… very confusing!

Bonwit Teller- Phila, PA


Rob from Albrightsville, PA:

“The last 2 are also on Chestnut St – note the Bonwit Teller Sign in the background of the wider shot. Not sure they had stores in NY but I think Bonwit Teller was the Bloomies of the 50’s & 60’s in Phila.”
