On East Houston, it's readily apparent that the street was widened- many old buildings have their sides, not fronts, facing Houston- and the sides look rough, indicating that another building likely once existed right next to the existing structures.A similar effect can be seen on the east side of 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn, where the Gowanus Expwy was widened in 1959 or so. I say "similar", as on 3rd Avenue, it seems that all of the building demolition took place on the east side of the street, whereas on Houston, it seems to jump between the north and south sides... |
