HARVEY P. VAUGHN
Harvey P. Vaughn (d. 1940?) was a real estate and insurance broker in Greenwich Village during the 1920s. Advertisements contemporary to the period reveal that in 1921 his business was located at 57 Greenwich Avenue. By May of 1925, however, it had moved to 5 Christopher Street, across the street from the Greenwich Village Bookshop at 4 Christopher Street.
