Hamilton Avenue (right), east side, south from Huntington to Clinton Streets. On the left is Huntington Street extending to Clinton Street. This group of buildings forms a triangle bounded by the above mentioned streets and was torn down several years later when Hamilton Avenue was widened, to become Gowanus Parkway, Brooklyn's northerly extension of the Belt Parkway.
