Stamp Center Building, Nassau Street, 1954.

Nassau Street was a hub of New York’s stamp collecting community in the early 20th century. Collecting was especially popular during the 1930s, and stamp storefronts and dealers operated along the street until 1994, when the last shop relocated to Pennsylvania.
