Manhattan: 11th Street (West) - Waverly Place

North Baptist Church, 232-6 West 11th Street, and adjoining houses, south side, between Waverly Place and 4th Street. This view shows the doorway of 240 West 11th Street and part of St. John's Church, which is on the corner at Waverly Place. The North Baptist Church was organized in 1827, at which time it actually was the northernmost church of the denomination in Manhattan. This edifice was erected in 1882; the first church building had been at Christopher and Bedford Streets. May 4, 1927. P. L. Sperr. The same, a closer view, five years later. August 6, 1932. P. L. Sperr. Nearly the same view as (1), but six years later. Notice that 238 and 240 West 11th Street have both been remodelled a little. Notice the doorway of 240, at the extreme right of the picture, and the new north light studio on the top floor of 238, as well as its windows. May 20, 1933. P. L. Sperr.
