Brooklyn: Somers Street - Sackman Street

1923

152-170 Somers Street, south side, between Sackman Street and Broadway. The two peaked roof homes are very old. They were historically connected with James Pelling. Pelling's lane passed these houses connecting Bushwick Road, (now Ave), with Jamaica Turnpike, (now Norman Place). The junction of all B.M.T. Elevated Lines is seen in the background. 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
