Description
The 10 story Jewish Daily Forward Building was erected at 173-175 East Broadway between Rutgers and Jefferson Streets in 1911-1912 by architect George A. Boehm. It was home to many Jewish social and benevolent organizations and the “Jewish Daily Forward” which was, in the 1920s, the largest Yiddish daily newspaper in the world.
