New Historic Images Added to Archive From Landmarks Applications –Ninth Avenue El demo, and Pre-PS 41

We’ve just added over a dozen wonderful new images to our historic image archive culled from recent landmarks applications in our neighborhoods. Some highlights include the old Ninth Avenue Elevated being torn down in 1940, and an 1898 image showing wooden houses at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 11th Street (with its own Elevated running overhead) and an unusual trapezoidally-shaped loft building torn down in the 1950s to make way for P.S. 41.
