Manhattan: 23rd Street (West) - 9th Avenue

1929

(1) "The Clement Moore," 429 West 23rd Street, north side, west of Ninth Avenue. Individual houses had to remain standing until their leases expired, and this impeded the demolition of the old London Terrace to replace it with the new. September 21, 1929. P.L. Sperr. (2) A side view of "The Clement Moore," and part of the clearing after demolishing most of the first London Terrace houses. September 21, 1929. P.L. Sperr. (3) A view of the London Terrace clearing. September 1, 1929. P.L. Sperr.
