Manhattan: 11th Avenue - 58th Street (West)

1939

11th Avenue, east side, north from W. 58th Street. This thoroughfare loses its identity at 59th Street, to become known as West End Avenue. The cleared lot in the foreground occupies the entire 58th - 59th Street frontage. Note the vacant site at the N. E. corner of 59th Street where the old Empire Warehouse stood.
