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.

The NY Municipal Archives on Chambers Street might have pictures, but less likely to be online.

Is there anywhere on the internet where I could view a map and maybe some pictures of this street taken around 1880's. > > Thank you for your help > > Debbi > Jim Garrity, List Administrator > jimgarrity@earthlink.net > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYNEWYOR-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > Jim Garrity, List Administrator jimgarrity@earthlink.net ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYNEWYOR-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Jim Garrity, List Administrator jimgarrity@earthlink.net ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYNEWYOR-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
