1938

Manhattan: Goerck Street - Stanton Street

Goerck Street, east side, south from Stanton Street towards the Williamsburg Bridge (seen at Delancey Street). Note the vacant lots in the foreground block that are a direct result of the enforcement of the multiple housing law which necessitated minimum requirements. The operators evidently found it cheaper to demolish than to conform. June 29, 1938. P.L. Sperr
