Taksim Maydami (Square) Istanbul Turkey - Vintage Postcard

When I visited this square in Istanbul it looked much like this, although I do not know the age of this postcard.  (I was there in 1967)I found online on Wikipedia a modern picture of Taksim Square and it looked much different.  It also stated that the photo was taken from Burger King.  Now that is a change.
