Finding 1940s Tax Photo?

Hi all,
I'm looking for the old tax photos of our home. As I understand it, the city took photos of every building in the 1930s/1940s and again in the 1980s. I could only find the 1980s one (by searching the street address here:  http://nycma.lunaimaging.com/l.... Any advice on how to find the older one? Perhaps it just hasn't been put online yet?

      When you get an error message, delete the last character (sometimes last three characters) and try again.

    I just did a search for tax photos. All I could come up with is this link:
    http://www.nyc.gov/html/record...
    Apparently the city now sells hardcopy photos of any house. I couldn't find any downloadable photos.

    Apologies for the broken link. Some of them, at least, are online. Click the "Enter the Online Gallery Here" link on this page:  http://www.nyc.gov/html/record...
    But maybe not the older 1930s/1940s ones? Has anyone successfully found older photos of their homes on that site (or elsewhere)?
