Description
42nd Street from Second Avenue, Looking West, 1869. All around the present terminal were the homes of squatters. These people made trouble when improvements began, and lots of fierce fights resulted. The region was very rocky and very hilly. It was known as "Shanty Town". The present wonderful station, hotels and office buildings cover the worst and most squalid part of the section. | J.
