Once Upon a Time

Another photo from Shorpy at 84 Mulberry Street in NYC's Little Italy (dated 1900). Do yourself a favor and click on the photo to enlarge - you will not believe the detail.

btw - the link above to Shorpy has additional info in the comments below the photo including a colorized version. Someone posted a picture from an old book that shows the Beneke Bros. building at the corner of Canal and Mulberry. Use the Google map to take you to that spot now - newer is definitely not better in this case.
