Photo by myself in Tribeca, around Duane and Hudson Streets.
The area in Tribeca is known for its history. Located just in front of these buildings is Duane Park, the first area set aside to become a park in Manhattan.
I'm guessing that the facade along the street is a remnant preserved from a previous building. A modern glass block and steel structure exists beyond.
The old facade was kept to preserve the character of the street, which is lined with renovated brick buildings. I'd love to know more about this building - it's unusual for square footage to be left unused in New York.
Happy Monday, everyone!
