Queens: 51st Avenue - 11th Street

51st Avenue, east from 11th Street, showing, on the south side of the avenue, a dumping lot and a scrap metal yard and some factory buildings at 21st Street. Across the unoccupied area was later constructed the highway leading to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel entrance, a block away. The new highway will cut across the view from the lower right hand corner to the left center background. November 11, 1938 New York City Tunnel Authority
