Bronx: Newell Street - Gun Hill Road (East)

1928; 1938

(1) Newell Street (right; not seen), west side, slightly south of East Gunhill Road (on which "L" appears), showing the Williamsbridge station of the New York & Harlem Railroad. On the left appear the rears of two buildings, Nos. 3488 and 3490 Webster Ave., at the S.E. corner of East Gunhill Road, around which the I.R.T. elevated structure makes a sharp bend. The latter connects the Third Ave. Elevated line with the White Plains Road subway. The view is in a northerly direction. P. L. Sperr. (2) The same, ten years later. June 16, 1938. P. L. Sperr. (3) An exclusive view of the station, viewed southward from East Gunhill Road. June 16, 1938. P. L. Sperr.
