Grand hasn't gone through to Lafayette since the 50's when the city tore down everything on the south side of Myrtle between Hall and Emerson and between DeKalb and Lafeyette to de-slum the area. The stores and 185/195/215 Willoughby took the place of old wood/brick tenements. I lived at 215 for four years.The Lex el ran through the middle of Pratt Institute campus, and the pillar foundations in the street could be seen on Grand Walk into the 00's. Also there's the power feeds still under the east sidewalk. Check the manholes on the side where the Engineering Bldg is. They still say NYCTA on both covers. |
