Historical photos

Thanks. I did that years ago, trying to research the home that my carriage house house had been built for, but the picture was so grainy it was useless .
Thanks for reminding me.

why would you drive there at all?! it’s within spitting distance of the 4/5/6 and R and an easy walk to the 2/3.

Good Morning Maggie – thanks for suggesting a survey. I prefer simply prefer driving.
