The Village Smoke Shop on Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village is one of the most photographed and drawn buildings in all of Manhattan. It's been in the same location since the early 20th century. This before and after is exciting: Look at the cobblestone street, the people, the clothes, the cars, the "Interborough Downtown" subway, the Walter B. Cooke Funeral Home ad, and so much more. Yet so much has remained the same, including the trash in the gutter. And, if you look closely, you can see One World Trade Center ("Freedom Tower") being erected in the background. So much to see. Look and enjoy. Thanks to Richard Friedman's blog for this incredible 1970 photo.
