Manhattan: Cherry Street - Jackson Street

1937

Corlears Hook Park: A panoramic set of 2 views, westward from the East River, showing this play area that is bounded by Jackson (left), Cherry (background) and Corlears (right) Streets. Upon the latter are two factory structures, one occupied by Hecker Jones, Jewell Milling Co., and the other by the Standard Milling Co. These buildings obscure a view of the Williamsburg Bridge, which is slightly northward. July 10, 1937. P. L. Sperr.
