Title: 1920s Photo of Subway Construction at Broad & Exchange Streets Post by: patsy6 on 12-Dec-13, 09:15:59 AM Notice there is no Times Square Building in the photo and no Mercury statue. The Times Square Building was built in 1929 and Mercury was across the street and out of the picture. Scroll down for a fine postcard depiction of the brand-spanking new Times Square Building.

I sure would love to know the story of the "Times Square" name.
