"Dr. Hutton's Church on University Place" (c. 1856?1879).
More details
A "Dr. Hutton" led a Dutch Reformed congregation on "Washington Square". [1] This church was built in 1837, [2] and Dr. Mancius S. Hutton retired from it c. 1879. [3] The New York Public Library marks the images as from a collection that covers 1858?1925, so the image is from 1858?1879. [4]

University Place is a short north-south thoroughfare in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan , New York City, United States, which runs from Washington Square Park in the south as a continuation of Washington Square East, taking the position of Madison Avenue uptown, and terminates at East 14th Street just southwest of Union Square . Although the roadway continues north of 14th Street as Union Square West , traffic on the two streets run in opposite directions (University Place uptown, and Union Square West downtown), both feeding into 14th Street. Until the late 1990s, University Place was a two-way street. The street contains numerous cafes, shops, and restaurants, many of which cater to students at NYU and The New School .

History [ edit ]

University Place was formerly part of Wooster Street , but received a new name in 1838, a year after New York University 's first building opened on Washington Square. [5] The street was the original location of the Union Theological Seminary in 1838, and the New York Society Library moved there in 1856. [6] The Industrial Education Association, precursor to Teachers College , occupied the Union Theological Seminary building in the late 1880s. [7]
