Pictures of Lower East Side of New York City in 1980

Posted March 4, 2024 by TT1702

In 1980, photographer Brian Rose documented the streets and buildings of New York City’s Lower East Side, with fellow photographer Ed Fausty. It was the neighborhood’s darkest, but most creative moment. While buildings crumbled and burned, artists and musicians came to explore and express the edgy quality of the place.East 4th Street between the Bowery and Second Avenue, 1980 © Brian Rose/Ed FaustyOrchard/Delancey Street, 1980 © Brian Rose/Ed FaustyHouston Street, 1980 © Brian Rose/Ed FaustyHenry Street, 1980 © Brian Rose/Ed FaustyEast 5th Street, 1980 © Brian Rose/Ed FaustyEast 4th Street between Avenue B and C, 1980 © Brian Rose/Ed FaustyLudlow Street, Puerto Rican Independence mural, 1980 © Brian Rose/Ed Fausty
