Here's a photo from 1897 of the view from the stoop of 340 Gates Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant looking towards Bedford Avenue. We're a little surprised that the iron fence is not a little more ornate. It looks like the fence one house over might be made of wood, doesn't it?

When I got the tax photo for my house in Carroll Gardens, I was surprised to see that it had a wooden fence.
