If I succeed in linking the photo, it looks east from the bridge to two buildings on Fort Washington Avenue. West 179th Street is at the left, West 178 at the east. Years later, the dip in the center would lead to the two tunnels that now flank I-95 and are used for storage. A few years ago, I bought James Renner's Arcadia book, "Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill." Using a magnifying glass I could see the route number 82 on the nearest bus.--- A year or two later, a westbound bus stop was added to the plaza. --- The Port Authority demolished three square blocks of large apartment houses, some only seven or eight years old, west from Fort Washington Avenue to Riverside Drive. The Authority also began to buy properties between Fort Washington Avenue and Broadway, but gave up on that clearance. I understand the two buildings in the center lasted until about 1960 and the construction of the George Washington Bridge Bus Station. Link to 1933 photo on Google If you have trouble seeing the photo, you may email me at cjmcmann@msn.com |
