These are the last remains of Broome Street. Then walk up Broome Street a ways, and on your left, a singular bishops crook lamppost will appear. You'll have to make a bit of an effort to see it in spring or summer, because it stands in a clump of trees. It's at the northwest intersection of what was once Broome and Sherriff Streets. This particular lamppost base is found nowhere else in NYC, except at Warren and Washington Streets.
Note remains of fire alarm at the base of the pole.
This fixture formerly held the orange fire alarm light . Bishop Crooks, and other castiron NYC lampposts, are classified by catalog. As Of November 1, 1934. Of those 76, only 19 have representative samples today. Its slenderer base apparently was used on streets with narrow sidewalks.
