It's taken from the old Cooper Union building, looking up Stuyvesant Street to St Marks church, 1856. <br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/33mve84<br /><br />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).pinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190184463719101350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-44992911474108781622010-11-04T17:22:29.279-04:002010-11-04T17:22:29.279-04:00Oh, man.

I just had one giant, heinous building go up behind me on Bowery between 3rd and 4th (next to Phoebe's). Thanks for reporting this and showing the hisotirical photographs. I had no idea it had such a rich history of artists. And anytime we can see a photo of an old L train, well. <br /><br />I'd love to link to your site on my blogroll.<br />My blog is an arts and culture-ish NYC blog, NewYorkLostandFound.blogspot.comRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406445757412751587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-38075562074782086302010-11-04T17:21:48.951-04:002010-11-04T17:21:48.951-04:00@Anon 4:53 -
