Garment Center Historic District Slideshow

Today we visit the Garment Center Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places in January of this year. Garment Center covers 25 blocks of Midtown Manhattan between Sixth and Ninth avenues to the east and west, and between 35th and 41st streets to the south and north. It is known for its distinctive loft buildings built in the 1920s to house New York City’s garment industry, the largest in the country for much of the 20th century.
