Manhattan: Park Avenue - 60th Street (East)

Park Avenue, west side, north from E. 60th St., showing mainly the demolition of No. 520, an apartment building at the N. W. corner. This was erected in 1911, and is to be replaced by the new Christ Church, M. E. The photographer's vantage point for the extensive view is E. 59th Street. View 2 is of earlier date and includes the apartment building at the S. W. corner of 61st Street. This came down prior to No. 520 and the site remained vacant for years. The N. Y. Times of January 18, 1940 reports the proposed improvement of this location with a modern 19 story apartment building. View 3 is westward on 60th St. during demolition of No. 520. The Hotel Pierre appears to the left. View 1- October 21, 1930 View 2- September 11, 1928 View 3- October 21, 1930 P. L. Sperr
