## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

The Lincoln Arcade was a commercial building near Lincoln Square on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, just west of Central Park. Built in 1903, it was viewed by contemporaries as a sign of the northward extension of business-oriented real estate ventures, and the shops, offices, and other enterprises.
