Today is the official commemoration of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, which claimed the lives of 146 workers, most of whom were young women from the Lower East Side.

Once again, volunteers wrote the names of the victims in front of places they lived.

The Triangle Waist Company was located on the northwest corner of Greene Street and Washington Place just east of Washington Square Park.
