Description
Colorized photo from 1900
Original title: Chatham Square
Location: Chatham Square, New York, NY
Presently Chatham Square is a part of Chinatown. However back in the 1900s, this is what it looked like. On the left is the Glenmore hotel along with a few others. Rooms cost between 20-25 cents, but they don't mention what you get for the 25cent rooms. It was pretty close by to the trains as you can see.
Progress has changed a lot in a hundred years, most of these buildings are gone, only a few remain.
