(1) Clawson Avenue, east side, between Princeton Avenue and Cannon Boulevard, showing the old Anthony Johnson House. Johnson was born in 1784 and died in 1860. August 1, 1911 By William T. Davis through P. L. Sperr (2) A distant view of the Anthony Johnson House and sheds, looking northeastward from Tysens Lane at about 10th Street. Before the aforementioned thoroughfares were laid out the house was situated 700 feet north of Tysens Lane and 300 feet west of Hylan Boulevard. Beers's 1874 map shows the house to have been on the H. M. Weeds estate. The maps from 1898 to 1917 place it on the D. Tysen property. January 13, 1923 By William T. Davis through P. L. Sperr
