Manhattan: 6th Avenue - Waverly Place

Sixth Avenue, north across Waverly Place, showing at Christopher, W. 8th, Greenwich and Sixth Avenue, the distinctive apartment house, No. 1 Christopher Street, the new Detention House for Women and the Jefferson Market Court. The latter contains the clock tower and appears above the "El" station at 8th Street. The cleared area in the foreground was necessitated by subway construction. This transportation facility will supplant the old "El" line. Demolition of the latter will occur in 1939. View 1: March 15, 1932 View 2: February 24, 1933 P. L. Sperr
