Manhattan: 11th Avenue - 35th Street (West), 1931–1936

Photo 13 of 37 at 11th Avenue & West 35th Street, Manhattan

Manhattan: 11th Avenue - 35th Street (West)

1931; 1934; 1936

11th Avenue, from W. 35th to 36th Streets, showing prominently the R. H. Macy and Company warehouse at the N. E. corner of 35th Street. View 1 is photographed eastward across the Avenue from a point on 36th Street. The cleared area in the foreground was formerly the Libby warehouse site (demolished in 1931-2). View 2 is westward towards the Avenue from 36th Street and shows the excavation for the new railway cut that will pass under the Macy Building to continue under 11th Avenue. View 3 is an earlier view limited to the warehouse. The tenements on both sides were removed for the excavation. December 5, 1934 May 1, 1936 April 14, 1931 P. L. Sperr
