Street View of 1940s New York

Between 1939 and 1941, the Works Progress Administration collaborated with the New York City Tax Department to collect photographs of most buildings in the five boroughs of New York City.

In 2018, the NYC Municipal Archives completed the digitization and tagging of these photos.
This website places them on a map.
Zoom in! Every dot is a photo.

The photos on this site are property of the NYC Department of Records
