It looks like they are mostly from the 30s.

Pictures of the old NYC high line and the run down 11th Ave, which caused so many fatal accidents that they called it the

street of death.  Very cool stuff from the thirties.

Outstanding! By coincidence I was looking through the NYC Archives photo collection the past few days and saw some of the very same shots. Do a search on 'railroads' or 'express highway' (West Side Drive) and you'll see them too. Several of these photos predate the 1930s including the shots of the steam dummies.

Jeff - Great photos!! Since I work in NYC, it's amazing for me to look at areas of the city and see what life was like eons ago.
