At Metropolitan Avenue
Down that quiet, tree lined, sepia toned street, the world is more than 80 years younger. The setting is Lefferts Boulevard at Metropolitan Avenue, and the circa 1920 photograph bears not a hint of the crowded, noisy intersection that was to come. That was Kew Gardens as its founders, the Man Family, envisioned it - bucolic, peaceful, with green grass and fresh air - a refuge from the congested, dirt filled, city of endless stone and concrete.
