117th Street

This 1916 printed photograph shows 117th Street (then called Richmond Hill Drive, and before that, Richmond Street) looking north to Curzon Road which is located just south of Metropolitan Avenue. The house on the distant hill is the old Cowles House.

In the 2001 photograph, the red house was all that survived from the 1916 scene where it is mostly obscured by the house in front of it. Sadly, that house, too, has now been razed to be replaced by a multiple dwelling. In 2007, the two houses at the far end of the street were also razed.
