View Towards Brookline Boulevard - 1906.
|
Here is a fascinating view looking northwest towards Brookline Boulevard. You can see Queensboro Avenue coming down from the boulevard and Woodbourne Avenue behind the child on the right. Obviously the land developers had not been quite so active yet as there is a noticable lack of homes. This picture has to be from around 1906, before the development boom. Of those structures that had been built, notice the one at the top right, near the corner of Queensboro and Chelton Avenues, the four-story structure that we see every day as we make our way up the hill to the boulevard. |
