The upright posts on the brownstones look like torii, the traditional Japanese gate that marks the boundary between the sacred and mundane realms, typically found at the entrance to Shinto shrines. It's a symbol of passing from the human world into the spiritual realm.

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.
