Leftist and Labor Tour

The Workingmen’s Cooperative Publishing Association, affiliated with the Socialist Party of New York, was located at 112 Fourth Avenue. The organization published The New York Call, a socialist daily newspaper that ran from 1908 until 1923. The New York Call bears tremendous significance as the first English-language daily affiliated with the Socialist Party in New York, and only the second in the country. As early as 1919, its offices were at 112 Fourth Avenue.

This area was a mecca for leftist and labor organizing, with many of the most significant figures and organizations of the 19th and 20th centuries located here. Click here to send a letter supporting landmark designation of these and other historic buildings south of Union Square.
