I also had my doubts about the 1929 picture being at 25th Street. It would not be the first time that I found a mislabeled picture in the Municipal Archives. However, there's no doubt that it's 4th Ave Brooklyn and the roadway was the same width as it is today.I believe it's a shot at 13th St. My guess is that the City took the picture not to show the new traffic light but to show the school. I looked up which public schools were located on 4th Ave and 13th St appeared. I believe there's a match on the right side building's brick work. The left side block has a lot of new construction. Only the corner building remains. It's a reasonable match but I think a lot of buildings would also match. At least the one-way cross street is going in the same direction. |
