Thanks yet again to Tribeca resident Ivan Kosnyrev: He sifted through the New York Public Library’s historical photos of the neighborhood on Oldnyc.org, and then he shot the locations as they look now. In this round: Northwest Tribeca.

SHOW US YOUR ROOF: 53 N. MOORE
The common roof deck of 53 N. Moore is only atop the sixth floor, but it has lovely views of 56 Leonard, the Holland Tunnel off-ramps, Citigroup, and the World Trade Center.

VALENTINE NO. 59
For my money, no Tribeca lobby beats 140 Franklin, where architect Aldo Andreoli commissioned murals from Sol LeWitt when the building was converted in 2000.
