Bronx: 144th Street (East) - Rider Avenue

E. 144th Street, north side, west from E. 143rd Street (just west of Morris Avenue), showing the area in two continuous views, View 2 continuing from where view 1 ends. The first picture shows old houses and garages at the head of 143rd Street, whereas the second one is from near Rider Avenue. This was formerly a residential area, as witnessed by the old dwellings, but was turned into and industrial district with many loft buildings. P. L. Sperr April 29, 1941 Views 1,2
