[St. Nicholas and Meyers Square: Eighth Avenue Line (IND) ]
Survey photograph showing the storefronts and street conditions along St. Nicholas and Meyers Square for the preparation of the maintainence and contruction of the IND Eighth Avenue Line.
Jumel Building, 1925.
In 1899, Frank Winfield Woolworth commissioned architect C.P.H Gilbert to design him a mansion at Fifth Avenue and 80th Street. Seven years later Woolworth hired him again, this time to build a two-story commercial building in Washington Heights for his retail store. Attractive but unremarkable for such as illustrious architect, the building is pictured here in 1925 during survey work for the IND Eighth Avenue Line. It still stands today, though most of the facade is obscured by oversized signage.
