Liberty and Second Street Intersection (1854)


Title	Liberty and Second Street Intersection (1854)
Description	Johnson's Exchange was built in 1854 on the southeast corner of Liberty Street and Second Avenue. It burned in 1900 and was replaced by buildings now owned by Northwest Savings Bank but for many years occupied by a series of department stores: Smith-Metzger, Metzger-Wright, Levinson's, and Janick's. In this 1873 photo, recently installed horse car tracks are visible on Second Avenue. The painted sign advertises an entertainment space, Variety Hall.
