Tribeca Then and Now: The Unknowns (Part 6)

As I’ve mentioned in the previous roundups of Jane Freeman’s photos from the 1980s and 1990s, many were taken at locations I’ve been unable to identify. Feel free to weigh in. N.B. It’s possible that some of these are not Tribeca.

••• Franklin Street
••• W. Broadway and Staple
••• South Tribeca
••• Hubert, Collister, Beach, and Ericsson
••• Hudson Street

IMAGE #60
From Heide: “#60 is next to Ghostbusters fire station. It looks pretty much the same now.”

····················

IMAGE #61
This is 114 Mercer, says James.

····················

IMAGE #62

····················

IMAGE #63
James identified this as 127 Hudson.

IMAGE #65
James pointed out that we’ve seen this one before. I thought I had caught the duplicates….

····················

IMAGE #66
Heide says this is “the shuttered gas station SW corner Canal and West Streets,” but I remember that gas station being around into this century. (Indeed, Google shows the gas station’s infrastructure there in 2009.) Unless another gas station preceded the one I remember? UPDATE: Robert Ripps agrees that it’s not Canal and West. James thinks it’s be the northwest corner of W. Broadway and N. Moore, but Robert Ripps and I couldn’t confirm it.

IMAGE #67
Note: The gray door has “156” on it. UPDATE: James identified this as 156 Franklin.

····················

IMAGE #68
The door says “459,” so I’d guess this is 459 Washington. UPDATE: “#68 does indeed look like it is 459 Washington Street—if that is brick under that smooth wall,” says Robert Ripps.

  1. #60 is next to “Ghostbusters” fire station. It looks pretty much the same now.

    #66 is the shuttered gas station SW corner Canal and West Streets.

  2. 65 is the same as image 2 on Greenwich St and Rector St

  3. 61 is #114 Mercer St

  4. 63 is west side of Hudson St, south of Beach St

  5. 67 is #156 Franklin St.

  6. Sorry, but clearly #66 is not the corner of Canal & West streets- the buildings just do not match. It looks familiar- I have been racking my brain all day to figure that location out, but so far drawing a blank…
