Queens: Queens Boulevard - Greenpoint Avenue

1923; 1925

Queens Boulevard (in center thereof), just east of Greenpoint Ave. This property was just east of an old hotel operated by Hugh O'Reilly which in 1891 was located at the intersection of Thompson Ave. (now Queens Boulevard) and Greenpoint Ave. The group of buildings which may have belonged to Mrs. Cameron in 1873 were demolished in March 1925. In the left background is an elevated line known as the Flushing Elevated Lines and is operated by the Manhattan and Queens County Railway Company. March 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
