Vanishing Gas Stations
Story
While the great American landscape is liberally dotted with gas stations, they have quickly disappeared from the terrain of New York City. Today, there are fewer than 35 gas stations in Manhattan and only 1 station south of 23rd Street. Here are a few stations across the city.

Public School 73 ARCHITECT: James W. Naughton DATE: 1888, 1895 STYLE: Italianate Palazzo, French Second Empire, Romanesque Revival An impressive brick and stone structure, P.S. 73 is an excellent example of nineteenth-century school architecture by one of the major practitioners in that field, James W. Naughton, superintendent of buildings for the Board of Education. The school was built in two sections, the first in 1888 and an extension in 1895. The structure has a number of architectural references to earlier styles, including Italianate palazzo, French Second Empire, and Romanesque Revival.
