Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York reports that 1940s tax photographs are now part of the NYC Municipal Archives Online Gallery. Type in an address and see a building as it was — and perhaps still is. Jeremiah’s post has a number of well-known locations, including 154 West 10th Street, Manhattan, once a grocery store and delicatessen, now home to the bookstore Three Lives & Company.

Thank you for a fantastic link! I love looking at how cities used to look.
Another interesting NYC website is: https://ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.com/
Unfortunately many cities did not realize the historical importance of keeping some structures but instead went through a renaissance of tear-down and build with rather unattractive buildings.

Thanks for the link. Yes, I have Ephemeral New York in my RSS reader.
Thanks for the tip. Some nice EF factory photos.
Cool. The only trick is that you have to begin with an address. I’ve been looking for restaurants and nightspots, and I’m finding that not every address is included.
