This is in Chinatown, NYC. I'm not sure if it's true, but I've always thought these buildings housed sweatshops for clothing manufacturing.
Wow! Thank you all so much for the nice comments and the solid votes. I'm pleasantly surprised that this picture did so well. I saw quite a few other images in this challenge that I felt were stronger, so I'm humbled by the result. Again, thank you.
For anyone who's interested, the tiny street where these windows are located in Chinatown, Manhattan is: Hon. Thomas Tam Way (formerly Cortland Alley) branching south off Canal St. between Broadway and Lafayette.
