From 124th Place

The view is from 124th Place (formerly, Cuthbert Place) looking west on Metropolitan Avenue toward Lefferts Boulevard which is 2 blocks away. Note the trolley tracks and overhead trolley wires in the top picture. Until the 1950's the only part of Metropolitan Avenue that was paved was that bearing the trolley tracks. The rest was dirt as you can also see from a close examination of the top picture. Sadly, the corner house was demolished shortly after the bottom picture was taken.
