This is a "HANDS FREE ZONE" The astute student will note the absence of any hands!No, on the cross street being 175st. Note the Chrysler Building is north of this location. The "175 might be part of an address, but the awning seems to have a corner patch, which may cover part of the address. Like 175 E.** street. |

View is north along west side of 3rd Ave. from E. 33rd Street in October 1955 to the demolition of the E. 34th Street Local Station, 3rd Ave EL. All the buildings at left side of photo are long gone for the whole block to E.34th St. -- and only the 3 buildings at the right edge of the photo along the east sidewalk of the avenue remain today. The other 3 buildings north up to E.34th street were demolished in recent years.Joe F |

Hello ElkeeperThe last EL pillar (one of the newer 1915 installed heavier ones) was extracted at 3rd Avenue & 42nd Street on Friday, February 17, 1956. It was the last remains of the 1914-15 rebuilt section of the El and its new doubled decked E.42nd Street express station. That rebuilt and much heavier EL structure segment of about 2 blocks length was only 40 years old when demolished. I have photos (given to me in 1958)taken that day - and the well preserved various NYC newspaper articles and photos of that event that day. It was a ceremony attended by various NYC Political officials including Manhattan Boro President the (now late) Hulan Jack. As well as crowds of public onlookers. |
