You may have seen this classic photo by Shorpy from 1913... I thought about it this past week while compiling the posts on St. Brigid's. (Like this post.)
EVG friend Pinhead linked to this photo a few years back for a St. Brigid's post on East Village Transitions.
Anyway, it's a shot looking to the east from the top of the Con Ed building on East 14th Street... Can you spot St. Brigid's? Tompkins Square Park?
Paying for these arrows by the hour, so ...
Recognize anything else...?

I've had that as my Desktop from the time when you first showed it some years ago. Hey, thanks a lot, I think it's one of the greats pics of the area.
"Paying for these arrows by the hour, so..." These one-liners make my morning (no seriously, they do). Great pic!
OMG, I think I see Mars Bar, Alt Coffee, and Liquid Lounge!! Oh the good old days!
Excellent idea, Mick! I just added it as my desktop here at work. Great picture.
What is that massive looking church opposite st. mark's on second ave?

It's the Second Avenue Baptist Tabernacle, which stood there from 1850 to 1929.
Has some fascinating pics here

I think I can see a bridge in the background if I squint...
