These days, 436 Lafayette Street, a gorgeous 1870 cast-iron and brick building by Astor Place, is the home of 20th century furniture dealer Alan Moss Studios.
But thankfully the current tenant didn’t toss out this vintage brass timepiece, a remnant from a previous tenant, Mann Refrigeration, which occupied the address at least in the 1960s.
New York has lots of lovely street clocks—like these beauties along Fifth Avenue.
