Picture Parade #3…Quite Possibly, The First Photo Of ABC Studio TV 1

This is the ‘Look Photo Crime’ show, sponsored by Look Magazine in September of 1949. The crime busting series, based on real stories, aired on ABC Radio five days a week and the TV series once a week. TV 1 and TV 2 (adjoining) on West 66th Street were ABC’s first New York studios. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    That is so cool. Especially the original floor plan and 1901 building!

    Originally built in 1901 as Durland’s Riding Academy, the building where horses once trod is now ABC’s TV1 and TV2. This photo is from the City of New York Museum, showing the front of the building on 66th Street:
