Manhattan: Fort George Avenue - Marble Hill Avenue

1927

Western terminus of Fort George Avenue at Audubon Avenue. Since this is a horse shoe-shaped Avenue which connects the northern extremities of Audubon and Amsterdam Avenues, and which intersects no cross-streets throughout its entire length it has been found advisable to classify these pictures chronologically rather than geographically. October 26, 1927. P.L. Sperr, Photographer. Garden and shacks on Fort George Avenue, above the Harlem River. October 26, 1927. P.L. Sperr, Photographer. Luncheon shack on Fort George Avenue. October 26, 1927. P.L. Sperr, Photographer.
