Because of Grand Union
I have said this before, and I will say it again: a visit to the website PhotobyGibson.com, created and maintained by Bruce Bohnsack, never disappoints. Today, I found there, among the new scans, this photograph, which documents the demolition, in 1955, of buildings on the north side of the 600 block of Warren Street to make way for a Grand Union supermarket.

Today, what was originally the Grand Union is Neven & Neven Moderne, dealing, appropriately, in mid-century furniture, from the very era that brought us the building.
The image below, from the post card collection in the History Room of the Hudson Area Library, shows the 19th-century streetscape of this block intact. The buildings on the far right appear to be the ones that were lost.
This post card image, also from the collection of the History Room at the Hudson Area Library, shows the same block after 1955, when the buildings razed for the Grand Union were already gone.
