They were ALL part of the "Urban Renewal" project...that was suppose to extend all the way up to Broadway..on BOTH sides of the street.The upper section was built on the westside of Myrtle [Sumner,Tompkins,Marcy houses..with one very large tower set on the east side across from Sumner Houses of 24 floors..the other was never built] Land was cleared on Myrtle avenue[Tompkins to Marcy, and again from Marcy to Nostrand]but nothing was built untill recent times by private developers.. From That point on..the city left the sections alone leaving the nab in tact[no money]. |
