I'm not sure, if the Equitable Building is shown on this photo from the 1880s, it may be
one of the background buildings, not one in the foreground. The Stereo Card
with the same picture is described as "Broadway and Trinity Church, New York".






This two pictures were taken from an old map by Bromley, Washington and Scott in 1891

    is very likely from the late 1870s after the major remodeling in 1875-76.
