Queens: 51st Avenue - 11th Street

10-35 to 10-27 51st Avenue, north side, between 11th Street and Jackson Avenue, looking west toward the latter. This photograph is one of a number that was taken to show the type of housing that prevailed in this area when the Queens-Midtown Tunnel was cut through. A number of dwellings similar to these were demolished, these, however, were spared. November 21, 1938 New York City Tunnel Authority
