83rd Avenue

Of all the houses in this album, I think this one is today the most beautiful - looking better, in my opinion, than it did 80 years ago. It stands near the top of Richmond Hill (the Hill, not the Village) on 83rd Avenue which used to be called Richmond Hill Avenue or Richmond Hill Road between Abingdon and Beverly Roads.

The first picture illustrates again how rural Kew Gardens was in its early years. In fact, "country life" was the description of Kew Gardens given in pre-1920's newspaper advertisements.
