OK, so it is downtown. I used a painting by Mary Lois Verilla for my Christmas card. The painting has the Dimlings store on one side and the Baum Bldg on the other side. The destination sign, however, reads "96-E. Liberty-62nd St". Artists License, I would suppose.
   
  Thanks for the information.

Dimlings was on the north side of Liberty Avenue, just east of 8th St.. 
Until 1974, I worked in the building next door at 725 Liberty which was 
adjacent to the Clark Bldg. At that time, the Dimlings candy store was 
gone, and the store front was occupied by Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips; a 
massage parlor was upstairs. I only patronized the first floor restaurant.

The Baum Bldg. was on the south side of Liberty Avenue at that general 
location, between Wood St. and Seventh Ave. In the 1950's, Dr. Baum was one 
of the few dentists who advertised in the newspaper and on TV.

I have a photo here somewhere that shows a trolley in front of the Dimlings 
building.
