Repost: The Ninth Street Bread N Cake Bakery was great until they applied for a liquor license


Digging into the archives here with this post from Nov. 5, 2010...

-----

Thanks to Goggla's comment the other day, we've all been spending far too much time looking at photos from the New York Public Library archives ... EV Grieve reader Pinhead came across this shot..

It's taken from the old Cooper Union building, looking at Stuyvesant Street to the east toward St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, 1856.


As Pinhead says: "Be sure to zoom the amazing detail, like the Ninth Street Bread N Cake Bakery at 172 E 9th (an address that doesn't exist anymore because of the NYU dorm)."

    This shot was full of people; they were just moving too fast to be captured on film. The exposure in those days must have been at least a few minutes, and the camera was mounted on a tripod.

    Notice the only living being in the frame is the horse hitched to a carriage in the left side of the picture.
