Manhattan: 37th Street - 1st Avenue

East 37th Street, west from First Avenue, showing progress on the demolition for the Midtown-Queens Tunnel. In a skeletal condition stands St. Gabriel's Church and School. Tenements on the north side of this thoroughfare will remain. Note the Second Avenue Elevated and the towering Empire State Building. P. L. Sperr May 27, 1939 Views: 1-2-3
