The Tombs, aka the Manhattan House of Detention for Men

circa 1905: View of men walking in front of The Tombs, aka the Manhattan House of Detention for Men, at 100 Centre Street, New York City. It served as the main city jail from 1838 to 1892, and was named such because of its Egyptian style. Three prisons occupied the same site, which has since been razed. (Photo by P. L.
