From Audley Street

This view is from Audley Street looking east along Metropolitan Avenue toward Lefferts Boulevard 2 blocks away. Earlier names for Audley include Walnut Street, 116th Street, and Kew Gardens Avenue. In the top picture, notice the house which stands on the south west corner of 118th Street and Metropolitan Avenue (directly behind the telephone pole) - the future site of the old Salty Dog Restaurant.
