437 West 36th Street in Manhattan, New York
Between 1939 and 1941, New York City photographed every building in the five boroughs for tax purposes.
This photo of the building at 437 West 36th Street is from that collection.
This is where Josephine Higgins was living with her family in 1903 when she married Harry E. Murphy.
The couple lived here with her parents until their first child, Kathryn Murphy, was born in 1904.
This is what the building looked like around 1940. We can only guess whether it looked the same in 1904.
Incredibly, it was till standing in 2024.
