Bleecker Street

The street connects a neighborhood popular today for music venues and comedy as well as an important center of LGBT history and culture and bohemian tradition.

To set his project apart from the rest of the area, Pearson convinced the city to rename this block of the street after the prominent international trader Jacob LeRoy.

It attempted to reform prostitutes and unwed pregnant women through the creation of establishments where they were to live and learn skills.

Bleecker Street was the original home of Sanger's Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau, operated from another building from 1930 to 1973.
