Reminder: The annual shareholders’ meeting will take place on July 22nd at 7PM – 9PM at the usual place: The Seafarers and International House at 123 East 15th St. on the second floor.

Due to an increasing number of thefts of UPS packages which are left unattended by the UPS delivery man outside shareholders’ doors, the procedure will now change. UPS will no longer leave packages unattended upstairs. Instead, he will place them behind the locked door off the lobby, to which he and Niall will have a key. A notification of package arrival will be on the bulletin board. You can then get in touch with Niall to get the package.

Please address any questions to Niall.

This is Union Square West in the ’40s. The reason all these buildings are so narrow is that the lots originally held townhouses.

This is S. Klein, the famous discount clothing store that did business on the east side of Union Square for decades.

This appears to be the north side of 14th St. east of Union Square in the ’40s. Note the cool “Turkish” subway entrance.

So which end of Union Square is this?

As the new multimillion-dollar condos at 15 Union Square West continue to develop, it’s fun to look at this great 19th-century photo of what the Tiffany Building looked like in its prime. Note that some of the people on the street have been added later by an artist.
