Description"This location was used for two other rain subjects by Lewis. The 34th Street Armory has been demolished, a corner of which is visible at the right. The light vertical drypoint in the sky for rain, and the treatment of the pavement very successfully captures the wetness of the scene." (SOURCE: Frederick Baker, Inc.
