84th Avenue

You are looking east down 84th Avenue (originally Division Avenue, later, St. Anne's Avenue) from 118th Street (then called Church Street). Division Avenue was considered the dividing line between North Richmond Hill (today's Kew Gardens) and Richmond Hill proper, hence its name. Notice how the hilly terrain requires steps in order to move from sidewalk to street - still a fact of life at some Kew Gardens corners near Metropolitan Avenue. The apartment building there today is the Georgian House. The mansion mostly hidden by trees in the black and white picture is the old Fowler House.
