According to McCarron, "In the record book, Lewis crossed out the rejected title Stoops in Snow - West Forties"(page 162). The likely location is in 36^th Street looking towards

3^rd Avenue and the 3^rd Avenue El. 

                     
                                         The brownstone posts are reminiscent of the entrance to Japanese temple lanterns.
