This photo was taken by William Henry Jackson in 1890 showing
the east shore of Manhattan above 182nd Street, looking south
along the Harlem River to the Washington Bridge and High Bridge.
Note this was before they took out the center part of the
aqueduct (foot bridge) and made a single span to facilitate boat
traffic.

Northwest side view of Fort Washington Avenue, Pinehurst Avenue,
Cabrini Boulevard and Haven Avenue at 179th Street, taken in
1932. Note the awnings on apartments due to sunsets and no air
conditioning. The building on the corner of Pinehurst Avenue has
since been torn down and a Jewish house of worship now stands.
All buildings west of Cabrini and 179th through 180th Streets
were removed for the lower level of the George Washington
Bridge. The remaining buildings are locacted on Riverside Drive.

This picture was taken on 172nd Street. Judging by the "classic"
cars parked there, I would guess the picture was taken in the
early 1950s. That's Highbridge Park and Amsterdam Avenue in the
background.

Taken in the 1940s on West 187th Street and Fort Washington
Avenue, this picture shows the Hilltop Pharmacy, which still
remains, under the new ownership of a former employee named
Bill. The Wines and Liquors store is now connected to the
pharmacy. The laundry is now a bodega and where Flaherty's bar
used to be is now a restaurant. Flaherty's Bar and Pizza was a
great hangout for many. Xavier Cugart and his wife, Cuchi
("Charro") used to drink there, as they lived across the street.
This pharmacy was one of three in this small area of stores.
