Manhattan: Grand Street - Centre Street

1923

162 to 154 Grand Street, north side, west from Centre to Lafayette Streets, showing 2 old 2½-story houses (Nos. 162 and 160) at and adjoining the N.W. corner of Centre Street. On the right appears Nos. 231 and 233 Centre Street (two small frame houses with brick fronts), adjoining and north of the N.W. corner of Grand Street.
