Washington Street Market: 1952
Night view of the Washington Street produce market, New York City, 1952. View full size. Photograph by Walter Albertin for the World Telegram & Sun.
This is the Meat Market District
What was displaced when the World Trade Center was built were wholesale electronic parts dealers.
That was a great place
I use to work in the Washington Market after school around 1964.
photos
i am looking for some photos of the market..in particular Cuneo bros. if anyone has any information or photos..it would be much appreciated..thank you...Ach
Park there now
There is a park there at Chambers and Greenwich called the Washington Market Park.
Neighborhood
This would be down in TriBeCa, not the Meatpacking District as alluded to. The Washington Market was a huge produce market, as well as the center of the butter & egg trade, for many years, until development displaced it (especially the building of the WTC).
[Thanks for the info. I have a series of Washington Market photos to post this week. - Dave]
The funny part is...
...this is a very expensive nightlife-heavy part of town now. But the cobblestone streets are still there.
[Interesting. What neighborhood is it? - Dave]
