This 1940 tax photograph shows the Henry Street Settlement at 265-267 Henry Street, as neighboring brick properties with three stories over raised basements. The buildings feature short stoops with attached iron railings, decorative stone window trim, and projecting cornices at the roofline. The closely spaced buildings surrounding the settlement reflect the dense residential character of the Lower East Side during the 20th century. | Creator: New York (N.Y.).
