This illustration of the Richmond Hill Golf Course appeared in the original Brooklyn Eagle article. The perspective is unusual in that north to south runs, roughly, from right to left. Metropolitan Avenue (then called the Williamsburgh and Jamaica Turnpike) runs across the upper left corner while Lefferts Boulevard (then called Lefferts Avenue) runs down the left side. Kew Gardens Road would be off frame to the bottom.
