REF. # 83004031. THERE IS CURRENTLY A PICTURE ON THE NR LISTING WHICH APPEARS FROM AN OLD POSTCARD. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE THE RIGHT BUILDING. THE BUILDING I HAVE SENT IS ABSOLUTELY AT THE CORNER OF BROADWAY AND 2ND STREET AND IF YOU CAN ENLARGE THE PICTURE YOU CAN NOTE THE WORDS "MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY" CHISELED INTO THE STONE IN THE PEDIMENT ABOVE THE COLUMNS. EITHER THEY HAVE EXTENSIVELY REMODELED THE BUILDING OR ELSE THE BUILDING NOW APPEARING ON THE NR SITE IS THE WRONG BUILDING.
