Gansevoort Peninsula
Gansevoort Peninsula — Hudson River Park was recently constructed and opened in 2023. Us the link to see more pictures. The salt marsh is not looking very healthy. I hope it survives.
“Did you know: Manhattan once had a well-used Thirteenth Avenue? It ran from Bloomfield Street on what is now the Gansevoort Peninsula north to 23 Street. The area was later excavated to permit longer ships to dock without blocking the navigation channel. Today, only a one-block stretch of Thirteenth Avenue remains on the Gansevoort Peninsula. This block has been incorporated into the design for the Gansevoort Peninsula.”

Lower Manhattan Doors
An assortment of odd doors photographed in Manhattan, New York for Dan’s Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2023/09/21/held-behind-doors/.
Many years ago we lived in the Lower East Side or East Village and we used the baths a few times when we didn’t have access to a shower. It is now Bathhouse Studios and is used for venues.
This Public Baths was built between 1904 and 1905 and designed by architect Arnold W. Brunner in the neo-Italian Renaissance style. There were 14 City-operated public baths opened between 1901 and 1914. Charitable organizations opened public baths and anyone could use them for a small fee on the Lower East Side. Many apartments had no bathing facilities and the public baths filled a need.
