Manhattan: 10th Street (West) - Patchin Place, 1930

Photo 13 of 26 at 6th Avenue & West 10th Street, Manhattan

Manhattan: 10th Street (West) - Patchin Place

1930

111-01 West 10th Street (formerly 11-1 Amos Street), north side, from Patchin Place to Sixth Avenue. These are old wooden houses which have been faced with brick. The corner lunch room was a drug store prior to 1929. There are quite a number of law offices and bail bond firms in this block of 10th Street, the Jefferson Market Magistrates' Court being on the south side at the corner of Sixth Avenue. The clearing where the camera man is standing is the site on which the new House of Detention for Women is being constructed. The name Amos Street was dropped about the time of the Civil War, inasmuch as the eastern end of Amos Street met the western end of 10th Street at this point. June 15, 1930. P. L. Sperr.
