Greene Street

Greene Street is a street in the Soho neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is the heart of the Cast-Iron District of New York, so named because, as you walk through the five blocks of Greene Street, you will pass through some fifty cast-iron buildings. Most of these buildings were put up between 1869 and 1895.

As you explore this section of New York City, you will be able to admire 13 full cast-iron façades between Broome Street and Spring Street. The row between Nos. 8 to 34 is the longest row of cast-iron buildings. The finest, called the King of Greene Street, is at Nos. 72 to 76, seconded by the Queens, at Nos. 28-30. Many of the cast-iron buildings have today been converted into galleries.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
