#237












#237, Midtown, NYC


237 E. 48th Street: once the home to feisty anti-fascist American reporter Dorothy Thompson. The plaque on the building reads:
The journalist, known as "the intrepid girl reporter" lived here from 1941 to 1957. Her book, I Saw Hitler and column, "On the Record," were influential in calling for American intervention in World War II.
Brought to you today by the intrepid girl photographer.
