SH Archive Single photo: New York circa 1900. Bowling Green and Broadway.

Here is New York circa 1900. Interesting group of flags being flown. US flag is inconclusive from the 5/6 point star stand point. The other two I have no clue what they are.

In the bottom right corner we can see "mud flood" type arches sticking out from under the ground. Whatever else we can notice here...

I'm wondering if that "star flag" on the left could have anything to do with the so-called Bonnie Blue Flag.

The Bonnie Blue Flag was an unofficial banner of the Confederate States of America at the start of the American Civil War in 1861. It now often serves as a representative banner of the southeastern United States in general. It consists of a single, five-pointed white star on a blue field. It closely resembles the flags of the short-lived Republic of West Florida of 1810, Congo under Belgian rule, and Somalia.
