Manhattan: Houston Street (East) - Mott Street

East Houston Street, south side, west from (No. 47) but not including Mott, to Lafayette Streets, showing prominently the Puck Building (from Mulberry to Lafayette Streets). It is a handsome edifice in the Italian Renaissance style, and is occupied by the J. Ottman Lithographing Co., the foremost establishment of its kind on the American continent, and the magazine 'Puck', a publication satirizing the political and social life of our country. The building was erected sometime between the second and third quarters of the 19th century and is 9-stories tall. June 3, 1933. P. L. Sperr. A detail of the Puck Building (the S.W. corner of East Houston and Mulberry Streets) at an earlier date, showing the pretty, emblematic figure of Puck, standing on a long, graceful column, with a crayon as a staff in one hand and a mirror in the other. September 19, 1929. P. L. Sperr.
