Manhattan: Washington Square South - 5th Avenue

(1) Washington Square Park, eastern half, seen across the Square from a building near the S.W. corner. This view is almost straight east on Washington Square South (4th Street), showing the Judson Memorial Church (1892) and the clearing made about 1927 on the S.E. corner of Thompson Street. August 1, 1935. P. L. Sperr. (2) The same, but a little further to the north, showing part of the new One Fifth Avenue apartment hotel (1926), and not showing Washington Square South. The apartment building on the N.E. corner of University and Waverly Places was erected in 1929. Compare both these views with Ewing Galloway's picture taken about 1925. August 1, 1935.
