There's actually a few shots in that online set, one taken about 15 years earlier than the other. Either are pretty good and almost taken from the same spot. One of them shows what was Grossman Shoe factory on DeKalb (now a condo) and the factory that became Pratt Studios. The photo was taken on the corner of where I used to live on St. James, looking east, with the luncheonette on the corner. The entire superblock on that south side of DeKalb was torn down between DeKalb and Lafayette between Classon and St. James, save for the 88th Pct house and Grossman Shoes during the area's "de-slumming" in the late 50's.I recall the Pratt Library collection has a few photos taken from the street looking south from Willoughby towards DeKalb. There's also one or two of the intersection of Grand and Myrtle from the ground, pretty intense structure. |
