Photo 7 of 29 at Ave. U & Van Sicklen St, Brooklyn

Brooklyn: Ave. U - Van Sicklen St.

1923; 1925; 1928

(1) Ave. U., south side, west of Gerritsen Creek, showing a house in the foreground, which is in the line of Burnett Street. At some future date it will be either moved or demolished because of the extension of Burnett Street. When the streets are finally cut into this property, the Whitney house which will no longer be in existence would, if standing, be in Marine Park Property at the N.E. corner of Ave. V. and Burnett Street, and the barn would be on the S.W. corner. August 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. (2) The same, another view. 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. (3) The same, showing the mill in a view south. February 1925. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. (4) The same, a view south east, showing in the background, the disposal tanks of one of the New York City sewage plants on Ave. W. September 1928. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
