The KV Pits: 1950

from the mcny collection
below I tried to magnify the image to make out what the plaque says, but I can't figure it out for sure. It might say west court, buildings GHIJKL ?

Actually, it looks like an address plaque nailed to a building. At quick glance, it looks like it reads, "80 Cherry Street." However, the pit shown is definitely a KV pit, confirmed by the caption in the picture. From the orientation of the building and the pit, it looks like the pit adjacent to the F or I buildings, as the corner/edge of the building would be leading to the opening of the walkway into a courtyard from Cherry Street.
From the sun angle, it definitely appears the picture was taken looking north into what would be a walkway leading into a courtyard.

I lived in aj2 overlooking the Cherry Street pit. Then we moved far away to 4 rooms, Ab2, and lost our view. Paula Romm Sanders
