That fellow in front of the big tree with his back to the camera needs only a cane to be Charlie Chaplin.
Just to the right of the large tree is the Decker Building at 33 Union Square, designed by the radical socialist-anarchist-architect John H. Edelmann. Edelmann's anarchist beliefs got him kicked out of the Socialist Labor Party and he later died during a New York heat wave in 1900.
In the 1960s it was home to Andy Warhol’s Factory, the studio where he was shot three times by an angry female associate.
