Photo 8 of 23 at Cherry Street & Corlears Street, Manhattan

Manhattan: Cherry Street - Corlears Street

1937; 1939; 1940

(1) 484 to 476 (from right to left) Cherry Street, ad-joining and west of the N.W. corner of Corlears Street. Also shown (right) is Corlears Street, north from but not including Water, to and including Grant Streets (where it terminates). On the west side of Corlears Street appears part of Corlears Hook Park. P. L. Sperr March 26, 1937 (2) The same structures as viewed eastward along Cherry Street, towards the East River. Note there the Williamsburg Bridge and its Brooklyn pedestal. The Manhattan support is obscured by the tenements to the left. On the right is Corlears Hook Park with a vacant block-front beyond. Upon this site stood the old 1-story Crane Company building. P. L. Sperr April 25, 1939 (3) Same as above, Cherry Street east across Cedar Street, showing Williamsburg Bridge. P. L. Sperr April 7, 1940
