Foundation block #31 with inscriptions, National Bond And Share, Pacific Mills, Telautograph Corp, L&C Mayers Co. There are a couple different addresses not sure what building it came from. Looks like was painted three different colors maybe four. I like yard sales.
Cire, Cool. :-)
I like looking up old addresses, although it can be tricky, given that buildings can get demolished/replaced, or the numbering/naming of streets can change.
The building at 545 Fifth Avenue was built in 1930 and used to be the Hotel Lorraine:
