      I think this is looking down Washington Street near the intersection with Water Street.

      Thanks for the modern day view, Eric in SF! Did you know the National Archives is currently running a contest for photos that mash-up the old and new images? Check out our challenge and look at some of the photos already submitted in our Flickr group. Hope to see your submissions soon!

      Very cool. I don't live in NYC so it'll be a bit hard for me to participate in this particular contest, unless I'm not understanding it correctly. But the entries in the group pool were way cool!

      We welcome all creative interpretations of the old and the new together, and any photo from our collections is eligible for the contest. One of the suggestions in our History Happens Here set could be perfect for where you are now!
