Amazing set, thanks so much for posting. It still blows my mind how developed and built up NYC was 50 years ago.

The third set is fascinating since most of that entire neighbourhood was cleared to make way for towers in the park housing projects that are, themselves, almost 70 years old.

(I think most of the pictures were taken just prior to the neighborhood's demolition)
