It stands west of Chatham square and the Bower from Mott to Bayard Streets. It is a curious sight at night, and attracts a big crowd of visitors' (1912). Artist/photographer: Unattributed . Provenance: "New York Illustrated"; C. Souhami, , Published by Success Postal Card Co. New York. Type: Antique halftone photograph.
