While the Lower East Side may not have the Revolutionary-era buildings that the Financial District and other Lower Manhattan neighborhoods do, some buildings come soon after. 511 & 513 Grand Street were built around 1827, as Grand Street and the area around it grew and began to house working-class citizens. These buildings were some of the last built in this style before the three and five story tenement buildings the Lower East Side is known for were built to accommodate the exploding population. The buildings were miraculously never replaced and now house @ostcafenyc and an important part of the early history of the neighborhood! 📸: NYC Archives #LowerEastSide #LESNYC #NYC #LESHistoryMonth
