Manhattan: 9th Avenue - Gansevoort Street

Ninth Avenue, at Gansevoort Street, showing the curve in the first "El" line at this point. Emerging out of Greenwich Street, it continues northward to 29th Street. The view in this instance is southwestward silhouetting the steel framework against the limited west frontage lying between Gansevoort and Little West 12th Street. The last thoroughfare is on the right. Note the flag poles at the corners of same. For additional views of this early phase of the Charles C. Harvey line, see Ninth Avenue at 29th Street, and Greenwich Street at Dey Street. 1867-8 Gift of Major Quinn
