941 Newkirk Avenue
Tax Photo Circa 1940
This was the home of Amelia Leier and her children from about 1901 to the early 1930's.
Compare this photo with the later one in 2009 where the hedges have been replaced by chain-link fences.
Between 1939 and 1941, New York City photographed every building in the five boroughs for tax purposes. This photo of the house at 941 Newkirk Avenue is from that collection.
The original photo has been enhanced and colorized.
