Looking for a Lower East Side photo. #photographs

Bruce Drake
I occasionally post about this here in my never-ending quest to find a photo that includes somewhere the storefront of a restaurant that my grandfather, Samuel Drach (from Wojnilow) owned on 10 Delancey Street, between the Bowery and Chrystie, in the years between 1910-1920. (That building and its storefront are still there but now unsurprisingly is a craft whiskey bar). I have scoured every possible photo source and am posting here in case anyone has old family photographs that might have such a shot. The closest I have come is a 1940 NYC tax photo taken at a point when the storefront was a bird shop.
Obviously, answer privately.

Also try NYC.gov/records. Click on Digital Collections. You can put in the address in the search bar and any photographs of that location will come up. Good Luck.

Have you checked with the Lower East Side Tenement Museum? Another possible source is a book about the Lower East Side, but I don't know the name of it. Perhaps a librarian can help you find it. I perused it in a friend's pied a terre in NYC over 30 years ago but failed to jot down its title. It had a lot of photographs from the early 1900s. I think the term "lower east side" was in the title of the book.

Success! Here are the buildings at 8 and 10 Delancey Street in a photo taken in Dec. 1907, featuring the Guttman Coffee House and Delicatessen (see attached image, and detail). Perhaps this is your grandfather's restaurant, or perhaps his replaced the Guttman? This photo is from the New York Historical Society, which has a full set of 1907 Delancey St. images, building by building, from Dec. 1907 at http://digitalcollections.nyhistory.org/islandora/search/delancey?type=dismax
Enjoy, Bob M Robert Murowchick <robertmurowchick AT gmail.com> Researching these family links:
