Of the photos I've posted on this walk, this one of the Stephen Haller Gallery shows most clearly the kind of spaces these art galleries took over. The glass door and doorframe are new, but the windows look original and you can just imagine a truck driving through the doorway. Many of the spaces in SoHo were in office buildings and, although wonderful in their own way, were smaller and much tighter, and I'm sure large art was a lot more of a hassle there than it is here.
