View Towards Brookline Boulevard - 1906
Then and Now

View towards Brookline Boulevard from
 near Woodbourne - 1906

Here is a fascinating view looking northwest towards Brookline Boulevard. You can see Queensboro Avenue coming down from the Boulevard and Woodbourne Avenue behind the child on the right. The land developers had not been very active yet as there is a noticeable lack of homes. This picture was taken in 1906. Notice the large frame house on Woodbourne, it's still there today.

View towards Brookline Boulevard from
 near Woodbourne - 2004

Here is close to the same view looking northwest towards Brookline Boulevard. You can barely see Queensboro Avenue coming down from the boulevard, as residential development and the growth of the trees has blocked the view of the roadway. If you look closely on the right you can see the old frame home shown above still standing on Woodbourne. There are a couple of others in both photos. Can you find them?
