Manhattan: 10th Street - Greenwich Avenue

(1)
Jefferson Market Courthouse and clock tower, with the excavation
on the site of the old jail and the law and bail bond offices
on the north side of 10th Street (formerly Amos Street), from
Greenwich Avenue to Sixth Avenue.
The courthouse, on the S.W. corner of Sixth Avenue and 10th Street,
was erected in 1875. Prior to that there was a tall, roundish
wooden tower, rather like a lighthouse in appearance, on the
same site. The new House of Detention for Women is to be built
in 1930-31, to fill the rest of the triangular block in which
the courthouse stands.
The break in the north side of 10th Street is the entrance to
Patchin Place, a semi-private residential court.
