Description

“Photograph dated May 5, 1937 of Works Progress Administration Project number 93. Rhinelander Row was located on Seventh Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets, Manhattan. Rhinelander Row was just one project in the Works Progress Administration to better the housing in New York City during the campaign to clean up all tenements in New York City. Rhinelander row was demolished later on as it did not match the architecture known to Greenwich Village and the area.”

Rhinelander Row was also known as Cottage Row.
