Manhattan: Riverside Drive - 165th Street

1937

Riverside Drive, north from West 165th Street and showing that area between same and the North (Hudson) River being landscaped as a part of the Park Department's West Side Improvement Project. Note the new George Washington Bridge at West 181st Street and a grassy plot under same, that was formerly known as Fort Washington Park and which will lose its identity upon the completion of this combined Municipal and railroad project. This set consists of 3 views, Nos. 2 and 3 of which are photographed at West 167th Street. June 15, 1937. P. L. Sperr.
