Dwelling and Clam and oyster bar.

One of the few remaining wood clapboard houses in Manhattan, and probably the last wooden house built in Lower Manhattan (fire laws enacted in 1849 prevented their erection south of 32nd Street). Oyster bars were a prominent social gathering place in 19th century Manhattan, particualry in waterfront neighborhoods. Given that the oyster trade was dominated by African-Americans and that there were significant settlments of African-Americans in this area in the 19th century, it is likely that the bar may have been black-owned or operated. In spite of minor alterations, evidence indicates that the unusual shape of this house is more or less the same as when it ws built in the mid-19th century as part of a row of four identicial houses which once sat on Weehawken Street.

alley

According to a New York City Corporation Counsel memo of 1892, what is now called Charles Lane was mentioned in the original Hammond Deed as a roadway on the north side of the Newgate State Prison, built in 1797. At first called Charles Street and then Pig Alley, it came to be known as Charles Lane, and was offcially mapped as a New York City street in 1893. The current stone pavers are believed to date from this time, making them possibly the oldest existing street pavers in New York City.

Bell Telephone Laboratories

sound recording of motion pictures

This complex served as the main research laboratories of Bell Telephone for over 75 years, and was a world center for sound communication innovations. Chain broadcasting, the vacuum tube, and the transatlantic telephone were first invented here, and parts of the first "talkie," the Jazz Singer, were produced here. The bulk of the complex was built in 1896 to the designs of Cyrus Eidlitz, though parts date to 1861 and were originally built as a wood-planing mill. The remainder of the complex was built between 1899 and 1925, and includes a large tunnel cut through the building above the third floor to accommodate the High Line elevated railway. In 1965, the building was converted into a subsidized housing, studio, and theater complex for artists per the designs of Richard Meier. This was the nation’s first subsidized housing complex for artists and one of the first large–scale adaptive re-uses of an industrial building. 455-465 West Street was listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975.

A.G. Zimmermann

Nabisco

factory: cracker factory and bakery

Built in 1919-21 as a cracker bakery for Nabisco, this was part of a broader complex of Nabisco buildings in the area, the bulk of which is located a few blocks to the north on 16th Street, in what is now known as Chelsea Market. An early example of establishing a uniform corporate identity through architecture, the factory was built in the same style as the main complex to the north as well as other major Nabisco complexes in Pittsburgh and Chicago. The architect, A G. Zimmermann, and the Nabisco President, Adolphus Green, appear to have been aware of and influenced by emerging contemporary German ideas about utilitarian and industrial design, and Zimmermann’s broad bays and functional design betray his own Chicago roots. The smokestack has long been a local landmark. Plans have been announced by a developer to erect apartments on the site, but such a plan would have to go to through a lengthy public review process because the site is currently zoned only for manufacturing uses.1924 (Alt. #2473): "set-back penthouse was erected on a portion of the roof for use as an employee restaurant." 1953 (Alt. #2112): 1-story brick garage added on east side.
