The Municipal Archives has a 1939 and a 1980s photograph of almost every building in New York City existing at that time. As part of a program to modernize property tax appraisals, New York City photographed every house and building in the five boroughs in 1939, and again in the 1980s.* Now available exclusively from the Municipal Archives, these photographs make a unique gift for friends and family.
