Chelsea, Tenth Avenue at 25th Street


Mary Sargent © 2009 ………………….…………… ………………….. click to enlarge

We've finally turned off 25th Street onto Tenth Avenue.  This whole block is low rise; the building on the far right is the tallest on the block.

If you enlarge this, you can see what look like fire escapes except there's no way to escape.  There's no ladder, and on greater enlargement, there's no indication there ever was one.  So what are they?  You have to climb out of a window to get to them so you can't call them, uh, terraces, balconies.  Another Manhattan mystery.

See map.
