Manhattan: University Place - 9th Street, 1925

Photo 6 of 9 at University Place & 9th Street, Manhattan

Manhattan: University Place - 9th Street

1925

University Place, west side, north from and including 9th Street. A comparison with Brown Brothers' 1913 view shows little change in the buildings, except at the N.W. corner of 12th Street. The building on the S.W. corner of 9th Street, shown in part, was erected around 1900 on the site of six old houses. The building from 9th to 10th Streets, marked "For Sale" in the 1913 view, is at least ten years older; and the one on the N.W. corner of 10th Street looks like about 1880. The former will be replaced by a 12-story apartment house, and the latter, together with the 4-story house adjoining it, by an 11-story apartment house, in both cases prior to 1930. June, 1925.
