Queens: Broadway - St. James Avenue

1941

Broadway, at the N.E. corner of St. James Avenue, showing the parish house of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, formerly for many years the rectory. The main building, according to Mr. Ogden, is about 100 years old. The two-story extension was added much later. Mr. Ogden also states that Mrs. Ogden, who was born in 1872, remembers the building before the extension was added. On the right can be seen part of the church -- not the original one -- at the corner of Corona Avenue. View 2 shows the rear of the house. Gift of Beecher Ogden 1941 Views 1,2
