Manhattan: 13th Street (West) - 7th Avenue - [Rhinelander Row.], 1937

Photo 18 of 20 at 7th Avenue & 13th Street, Manhattan

Manhattan: 13th Street (West) - 7th Avenue - [Rhinelander Row.]

1937

(1) West 13th Street, south side, west from Seventh to Eighth Aves., showing at the S.W. corner of Seventh Ave., an empty lot; the site of the former "Rhinelander Flats". Between this lot and P.S. No. 16 are two small houses (Nos. 204 and 206) which have similar small buildings at their rears. These structures are owned by the Hoguet estate and undoubtedly were erected shortly after the Rhinelander row. For further data see the New York Times, May 10, 1937 (illustrated) and the New York Sun of May 1, 1937. July 19, 1937. P. L. Sperr. (2) A view from inside the cleared lot showing the rears and sides of the aforementioned Hoguet houses. Shown on the right is the Metropolitan Temple an edifice at the N.W. corner of Seventh Ave. and 13th Street. July 19, 1937. P. L. Sperr.
