Manhattan: Greenwich Street - Christopher Street, 1930–1931

Photo 3 of 31 at Greenwich Street & Christopher Street, Manhattan

Manhattan: Greenwich Street - Christopher Street

1930; 1931

(1) Clearing, 1-7 Christopher Street at the N.W. corner of Greenwich Avenue (right). A new apartment building is to be erected. Nos. 1 to 7 Christopher Street and 3-13 Greenwich Avenue were demolished for its site. No. 15 Greenwich Avenue, an old four-story brick house, was not carefully shored up when No. 13 was demolished, and consequently collapsed. For some years following its site will remain vacant. October 13, 1930. P. L. Sperr. (2) No. 1 (1-7) Christopher Street, the completed building, beginning its first season, a year later, seen across the parking space at the S.W. corner where 1-5 Greenwich Avenue and 2-6 Christopher Street used to stand. The view at the right is northwest straight up Greenwich Avenue. October 3, 1931. P. L. Sperr.
