more modern tenement structures be prohtaby
placed sites occupied by old type houses This
lower half of the East Side has few blocks with
houses having adequate interior courts or proper
side courts. In many cases the rear lines OF the
buildings almost touch in other words the en-
tire blocks almost entirely used for living house
purposes.
The block bounded by Canal, Hester and Chrystie
streets and the Bowery is good example OF the
block containing almost entirely old type buildings
BY building a slight board framework It would De
possible to have a playground covering all the
roofs Of the houses, close are the structures TO
one another, and this block is far from being a
small sized 1t has frontage of zS3 feet on
Canal street S56 feet Chrystie street, N7S feet
on Hester street and s76 feet the Bowery. Some
OF the buildings fronting on tho Bowery extend
back liz feet.
Another block of almost unbroken of old
type buildings is bounded by Canal. Orchard, Allen
and Hester streets Part of this block is occupied
by Public School La. The height of the houses
range four TO six stories. and they are built
as to leave little air space for light or
ventilation in the rear or for use as rear yard
The Second Avenue elevated line extends from
Chatham Square up Division street, and then
through Allen street. and thus what little sunshine
and good air might reach the houses is virtually
shut of by the elevated structure
WHERE REAR TENEMENTS ARE FOUND.
In the block bounded by Allen. Eldridge. Hester
and Grand streets there four interior houses,
! one of which has frontage of 25 feet and depth
OF % feet or, in other words, it is . feet square
Some OF the houses fronting the street which
! rise to height of four stories. have depth
of 42 feet. This is another typical old style East
| Side block.
! On the block bounded by Hester Grand. Forsyth
and Chrystie streets are evidences of the work of
the builder of modern houses. most OF the struct-
ures having large rear yards and having 'helr
air and ventilation spaces we'll protected
The block bounded by Sheriff street Avenue Z
East I'd street and East Houston street has many
interior light courts, and is TO be numbered among
the type of residential block on the F1a3I 0ite'
