Manhattan: Canal Street - Wooster Street

1928

Canal Street, north side, east from Wooster (left) to Greene (right) Streets and viewed across a clearance at the S.W. corner of Canal and Church Streets. The latter is on the right and terminates at this point, though it gives the appearance of continuity at Greene Street. This set consists of two views forming a panoramic arrangement. April 23, 1928. P. L. Sperr.
