118th Street

In the circa 1905 picture, the photographer is standing on Church Street just below Division Avenue looking south toward Central Avenue in what was indisputably Richmond Hill. The names have since changed - the streets becoming 118th Street, 84th and 85th Avenues, respectively, and the block now considered by its residents to be in Kew Gardens. While 118th Street north of 84th is nothing but apartment buildings, this block has seen development move at a slower pace. The west side of the street features the same homes that stood there almost 100 years ago - the house in the right foreground being one of them.
