Manhattan: Grand Street - Suffolk Street

1937

Grand Street (foreground) at the N.E. corner of Suffolk Street (left), showing a store temporarily occupied for the sale of Matzohs prior to the Passover holidays. This location is given by the photographer and cannot be verified by the writer. If it is as claimed it will be No. 390 Grand Street at which Bromleys Atlas of 1922 reports a Bank to be located. (Subsequently verified by personal observation, though slightly altered.) March 26, 1937. P.L. Sperr
