Manhattan: Washington Square - University Place

Washington Square Park: A northeastward view from the center towards University and Waverly Places. At the N. E. corner of that point is the large apartment house, No. 1 University Place. To the right is the 11-story building that houses the Law Department of N. Y. U. This fronts on Washington Square East and extends from Washington Place on the right, to Waverly Place on the left. The 5th Avenue buses terminate their run here and return northward. The operator of one is shown changing his route sign. Note the Columbus statue opened to view in No. 2. Both of these photos are from the same point of vantage.
