   Widening of Laurens Street leads to new tenements at 498 and 500 LaGuardia Place

   In 1870 Laurens Street was widened by 25 feet on its west side and renamed South Fifth Avenue; it later became West Broadway and is now LaGuardia Place. Buildings in the way were demolished or cut back, and many of the shortened lots were quickly rebuilt. Builder Samuel Lynch designed the pair of tenements at 498 and 500, of the kind later called pre-law tenements.
