1926: The Last of the Bowling Green Cat Massacres in New York City’s “Little Syria,” Part II » 45 West Street 1927

Here's 45 West Street in 1927, two years after the BGNA moved out. The building was demolished in the 1940s when the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel was constructed; after the tunnel opened in 1950, Crystal Street, later renamed Joseph P. Ward Street, was opened in the block between Washington and West streets where #45 had once stood. West Thames Street Pedestrian Bridge, scheduled to be completed in 2018, will be on this very site.
