Independence Ave. (extreme right, where men are working), at the N.W. corner of West 254th Street (foreground). The road seen in the center of the view extending to the background is a private driveway to Riverdale Manor, exclusive real estate development of which Cross & Brown Company are the agents. A sign in front of the left entrance post says: Hillside, no thoroughfare.
