Queens: Metropolitan Avenue - Jamaica Avenue

Metropolitan Avenue, north side, at Jamaica Avenue and Kew Gardens Road, showing the "Twin Oaks," known in 1891 as the Maple Grove Hotel, owned by Jacob Hauswirth. Kew Gardens Road, the old Newtown Road, is on the extreme right; Jamaica Avenue is in the foreground, where the B. M. T. elevated throws its shadow across the street. P. L. Sperr May 7, 1934
