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.

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 #64

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.

#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.
65 is the same as image 2 on Greenwich St and Rector St
61 is #114 Mercer St
63 is west side of Hudson St, south of Beach St
67 is #156 Franklin St.
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…
66 is the Northwest corner of West Broadway and N. Moore St
Do you have an image showing it looking like that? I found some digital images from 2007 before the building was built on that site, and I can’t make anything in the background match up… I feel like it may be in Soho or the West Village…
I wanted it to be that corner, too, but I couldn’t confirm it.
#68 does indeed look like it is 459 Washington Street- if that is brick under that smooth wall https://www.google.com/maps/place/459+Washington+St,+New+York,+NY+10013/@40.7246359,-74.0101497,3a,24.1y,136.51h,82.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szNT1o0JTWbVuYpVKZDe2CA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c259f386cbb3ed:0x15eb1101803476d6!8m2!3d40.724533!4d-74.0098299
