Sheepshead Bay - Brooklyn - [Emmons Avenue - Between 26th and 27th Streets (East) - The Barge.]

Sheepshead Bay (Brooklyn): Viewing west on the north shore of the bay and Emmons Avenue from East 26th Street. In the center is "The Barge," a dance palace. It was later re-moved when all boat shacks were condemned for the widening of the thoroughfare as part of the Belt Parkway System. July 13, 1933 P. L. Sperr (2) Looking west from near East 27th Street. Note the new reinforced concrete bulkhead which was constructed by the W.P.A. when Emmons Avenue was widened. On the right is the Lewis House, more than a century old. July 9, 1936 P. L. Sperr
