Manhattan: Bedford Street - Morton Street, 1914

Photo 1 of 11 at 7th Avenue South & Morton Street, Manhattan

Manhattan: Bedford Street - Morton Street

1914

Bedford Street, east side, south from and including Morton Street, showing across the vacant lot at the N.E. corner (former No. 60-62), the Bedford M.E. Church at the S.E. corner. This was demolished when Seventh Ave. was cut through and would today (1937) be in the center of Seventh Ave. where Morton and Bedford Streets intersect. Buildings on the left are Nos. 64 and 66 Bedford Street, adjoining and west of the N.W. corner of Morton Street and are frame houses with brick fronts. They stand today and adjoining a 6-story apartment house at the corner. 1914.
