Long Acre Square to Times Square

photos from Shorpy Vintage Photo Blog


Prior to 1904, Long Acre Square was a carriage-making district that later came to have a reputation as a low entertainment district. After the move of the Times building and becoming Times Square, the area transformed into a popular entertainment center. Times Square underwent its share of pitfalls and upbringings. Today, it has been overtaken by Disney being a place of entertainment and commerce.
