The pictures at the top are of:

“Americans Thus Far Chosen For The Hall Of Fame Of New York University”

Top row:

Lincoln, Grant, John Marshall, Audobon, Hawthorne, Adm Farragut, Robert E Lee, George Peabody

2nd row:

Dan’l Webster, Henry Clay, Rob’t Fulton, George Washington, Washington Irving, Thos Jefferson, John Adams, Jos Story

3rd row:

Horace Mann, Henry Beecher, Jonathon Edwards, Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ben Franklin, W.E. Channing, Gilbert Stuart

4th row:

James Kent, Eli Whitney, Elias Howe, Peter Cooper, Asa Gray, Samuel F.B. Morse

I know of most to them... Channing, Kent, Howe, Cooper and Gray I’ll have to look up.

Apparently New York University didn’t get the yankeefa memo requiring us to hate all Confederates, what with Rob’t E Lee on the first row. Guess the stupidity wasn’t as widespread in 1900 as it is in 2018.

That “Sears and Roebuck” company looks like it might be worth investing in. Might wanna get out before 100 years or so, though.

I always love looking at the advertisements. In some ways we've changed a lot and in others not so much.

The rents at 84th and riverside drive are $1800/yr. That's $53k/yr in today's dollars according to this source. That's $4,400/mo.

The same building in 2018 now rents for $4500/mo according to this site. Pretty incredible.
