Manhattan: Watts Street - Sullivan Street, 1926

Manhattan: Watts Street - Sullivan Street

Watts Street, easternmost block, east from Sullivan Street (future Sixth Avenue Extension). Between Thompson Street and West Broadway there is a triangular plaza where Watts and Broome Streets fuse. The south side of this plaza now has Broome Street house numbers, although originally it must have held the first six odd numbers on Watts Street. The entire south side of Watts Street from Sullivan to Thompson Streets is about to be demolished in the process of building the new subway and extending Sixth Avenue southward. 1926.
