Lewis Hine photographs the Elizabeth Street tenement block between Prince and Houston Streets
In 1912 Lewis Wickes Hine photographed this block, capturing trash on the Belgian block paving, broken-down carts lining the sidewalk, laundry hanging from fire escapes, and boys in the doorway of a bar with a Kips Bay Brewing Company sign. Ephemeral New York notes that the row of tenements at 260 to 268 Elizabeth Street is still standing. In 2019 boutiques and a roasting company occupied the storefronts, and a Federal-style house from the 1820s survived on the corner.
