Must have burnt down at some point. Email me if you want the new photo.

Oringinally, I thought it might be a way to have my family contribute information that they can't seem to get to me.? They might think it is a fun way to do it and I can gather more information for my records.

I seem to recall that the NYC Municipal Archives has a collection of every building in the city taken around the turn of the century. There was a good deal of discussion about it on this list about 5-7 years ago and then I unsubscribed for awhile. Anyway, prints of those photos were available at that time for about $25, as I recall.

I've got to run, but I'll try to find the one I was thinking of later. There are tons of old maps on-line for free. Trying googling something like: +map +manhattan +1875..1900 and see what that turns up. A quick search found me this 1886 map: http://www.brorson.com/maps/NYC/LowerManhattan_1886/LowerManhattan_1886_Leve l1.html Juliann -----Original Message----- From: J Hansen [mailto:jrsh9999@earthlink.net] Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 11:41 AM To: 'nynewyor@rootsweb.com' Subject: RE: [NYNEWYOR] West 49th Street Debbi, I've collected a few sites with historical photos and/or tidbit histories around NYC.
