Manhattan: Broome Street - Willet Street

Broome Street, south side, east from Willett Street. October 12, 1931 L. Sperr (2) The same location several years later. Note the trees where the open area appears in View 1. This was developed as a playground-park to form a visita to the Consolidated Apartrents (modern building shown). Formerly located here were P. S. No. 34 and a unit of the R. Hoe & Co. plant. In the background, across the roofs of tenements on Columbia Street is the Manhattan support of the Williamsburg Bridge. To the right appears a glimpse of the East Niver and its Brooklyn shore. May 7, 1939 P. L. Sperr
