Manhattan: St. Nicholas Avenue - 155th Street

1912

St. Nicholas Avenue (old Kingsbridge Road) at N.E. corner of 155th Street, showing houses numbered 906 to 918, adjoining the vacant corner. One of these, 906, antedates 1885; the others were built shortly after. Early in the 1920's 906 and 908, the two nearest to the camera, will be taken down, and the block rebuilt down to the corner. About 1912.
