This is a 1900 photo of a well known area of New York City. Based on clues from the photo what area of New York City is it?
I cheated, so I wonāt reveal it. I wanted to say Wall Street, which it isnāt. Iāve been working on a cousinās family history and have traced one Dutch line to New Amsterdam in the 1620s and they lived just outside the wall that became Wall Street.

Hint about the forties photo of a singer with his mother. Before he became famous he entered a singing contest and was told that he had no talent and would never be able to make a living as a singer.
