Tribeca Then and Now: Lower Greenwich Street

Local artist and writer Jane Freeman has donated a cache of old Tribeca photos—the most recent seem to be from 1990, and most are from earlier—and as you’ll see, the neighborhood was a markedly different place back then. The photos were unlabeled and not in much of an order, so identifying the locations has been a challenge. (This series will end with the unidentifiable ones.) After I had the photos scanned, I realized that they wanted contemporary images for context. I occasionally tried to match Jane’s framing because I liked the comparison; other times, I felt it helped to see more than what she photographed.

  1. Shouldn’t “Greenwich and Hubert (West Side)” be “East Side”?

  2. Fantastic photo series once again!
    It’s fascinating to compare the before and after.

  3. Thank you so much Erik and Jane for these. They are amazing.
