Manhattan: Cherry Street - Clinton Street

(1) 323-325 (2-story structure), and 327 to 333 Cherry Street, south side between Clinton and Montgomery Streets. The four 2-1/2-story houses (Nos. 327 to 333) are at this date approximately 100 years old and were, during the last century, part of the fashionable Cherry Hill residential district. This area is now part of New York's worst slum district. March 23, 1937. P. L. Sperr.

(3) A similar view to No. 1, being photographed in an eastward direction, showing the vacant site where the former 2 and 2-1/2-story buildings stood. Thru this clearance appears a modern factory structure on Water Street. At the left margin is Montgomery Street. April 23, 1939. P. L. Sperr.
