Well, this one isn't exactly the perfect now and then... close enough... First, the south end of Cooper Square looking south on Bowery from 1900....
... and a shot from this past spring...
I recognize a few things, I think... You?

Q for I Am Mars: What memorial statue was on the site? I read The Alienist years ago, what a great book...
@Mick, "Peter Cooper" is engraved on the top of the monument but I can't make out the rest.
The one thing I recognize is that the old black and white shot depicts a much cooler and far more interesting city than the color view.
