View 14th Street at Union Square From the Same Angle in Three Different Centries

Ephemeral New York dug up three interesting photos of the same view in Union Square, in three different centuries. The shots all look East down 14th Street from the intersection of Broadway. One in 1893, one in 1974 and one in 2012, each photo telling a different story of the area.

Here is a Google Street View of how the same view looks today. Check out the original article for more on these photos.
