Damage by burst main, 129th St. (LOC)

  • aware health said:
    Is that the Croton Aqueduct in the background?
  • Reinaldo Cruz said:
    it's the viaduct (Riverside Drive) that extends from Riverside Park where Claremont Inn stood to 135th street. There used to be a ferry just beyond the viaduct
  • aware health said:
    Yeah, I saw a show on TV the other day about NYC's water supply (including the aqueduct), and forgot to go remove my dumb question. Thanks for setting it straight!
  • Eric K. Washington said:
    The photo was taken in Manhattanville (West Harlem). The photo shows the aftermath of a burst water main on West 129th Street just east of the crossing at Broadway which occurred on June 23rd, so the photo was probably taken later that month. The NY Times reported ("Flood Rages In Manhattan Valley," June 24, 1911) the loss of 3,000,000 gallons of water from the "city's dwindling supply" and $10- to $15,000 in property damage. The vertical girder to the left holds up the elevated section of the Manhattan Street subway station -- renamed 125th Street Station in 1921 -- of today's #1 line. The front of the white Sheffield Farms building in the central background (built in 1908, and known today as Columbia University's Prentis Hall) is obscured by a frame structure on the triangular block where area locals will recall the Floridita Cuban Restaurant was located until recently and where a gas station is still in operation. To learn more about this fascinating old NYC neighborhood, see my book, "Manhattanville: Old Heart of West Harlem." Thank you LOC for sharing this pic, which I'd never seen, although I immediately recognized the event.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thank you, Eric, for your synopsis of the event and details about the neighborhood. We'll fill in the caption information and date the next time we update the record. I hope that you will continue to browse our images and share your research. Your book sounds fascinating.

Main Street, Pie Town, New Mexico (LOC)

    www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/pietown.html?c... Great article with the history of Pie Town inspired by these photographs.
  • Reiko PM said:
    Wow, I love this photograph. The text "Pie Town" on the roof of the General Store, the dirt road and the cafe; the way the family walks along the road spread out, I see an equality in that. I like it that the father is carrying the baby and has not left that responsibility to his wife. I like this "Pie Town" series. The color photography is nice.
