Queens: Maspeth Avenue - 59th Place

1923

Maspeth Ave., north side, east of 59th Place, showing in the foreground the Kolyer farmhouse which was taken down about April 1923, because it stood directly in the line of the proposed 60th Street. Beyond the house is a two story frame structure bearing No. 6007, being 50 ft. east of 60th Street. The Koyler house of 1875 was owned by J. Divine 1860, Schwigert 1873, and Van Master in 1891. This is a set of four views. March 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
