Manhattan: State Street - 3rd Avenue, 1923–1925

Photo 9 of 28 at State Street & 3rd Avenue, Manhattan

Manhattan: State Street - 3rd Avenue

1923; 1925

(1) State Street, east side, south from but not including Pearl Street. The building on the extreme left being No. 12, which adjoins the Cheseborough Building, the corner building at Pearl Street. The 5-story white structure is No. 9, the former Ludlow-Morton House. It is probably the former 3-story basement house, with dormers, that was altered in 1859 and a story added. The 5-story projecting house, No. 7, is the present Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary (Home for Irish Immigrant Girls). It was built about 1800 by Moses Rogers, A. Gardener, & Howland and occupied same in 1830, afterward the Federal Government used it for military purposes during the Civil War. The Pilot Commission were the last occupants prior to the present tenancy. Between these two buildings is No. 8, (formerly known as the Bay House), which was also altered and a story added in 1859; this became the Lutheran Pilgrim House in 1885. Note that this street curves in a southeasterly direction to Whitehall Street, at which point appears the South Ferry Division of the Second and Third Aves. Elevated Lines. These buildings face on Battery Park, which is not shown. May 1925. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. (2) A limited view showing mainly Nos. 9, 8 and 7 (left to right). October 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. (3) Similar to No. 2, showing a view to Whitehall Street (right). The 6 and 12-story structures, Nos. 6-4 and 3-1 are units of the South Ferry Building, located at the N.E. corner of Whitehall Street. May 1925. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. (4) A view showing prominently the R.C. Mission at No. 7. October 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
