On the right side (the east side) of the street two signs read "Hansa" and "Tennebaum Bazaar".

• Morris Tennenbaum and his family were listed in the 1910 census at 79 Hudson Street as follows: Morris (note Ancestry.com lists him as Harris, but I believe it is Morris), age 41, married 17 years, born Austria dry goods store, Ella wife age 36, 2 children 2 still living, born Russia, Lilly daughter age 11 (?) born New York, and Leon son age 7 born New Jersey. The Tennebaums were not listed in Hoboken in later censuses.

This is looking north from 8th street. I believe that the rectangular factory like builing in the center of the image was the Lipton Tea building. "PTON'S TEA" is visable in the image. The Lipton Tea building was at 15th and Washington (the next block west).

The church on the left was St Paul's at 820 Hudson.
