West 215th Street, (background of view, near spot lights, from left to right), east from Tenth Ave., (left) to the Harlem River, (right) showing a night view of the car yards and repair shops of the Independent Rapid Transit Railroad (Eighth Ave. Subway) extending south to the West 208th Street (foreground, not seen). The portion seen on the left, which is occupied by the repair shops, is the former site (from West 212th to West 213th Streets, from Tenth to Ninth Aves.) of Nagel Cemetery, pre-dating the American Revolution and considered to have been one of New York's oldest grave yards.
About 1930.
