Now in its second renaissance, SoHo first rose to prominence in the mid-19th century as a commercial and nightlife hub, home to grand hotels, theaters and shopping. Over the ensuing years, small manufacturers and then larger textile companies and dry-goods wholesalers moved into the neighborhood, driving out much of the residential population. By the 1950s, the area was left largely abandoned, save for various gas stations, auto repair shops and garages.
