The Goodfellows Club, Olinville Avenue, June 1, 1928. Two men watch from the porch of this wood-frame structure in Olinville. The 1918 Sanborn map identifies a beer garden at the rear of this house, which might explain the Prohibition-era lookouts in P.L. Sperr’s photo.
695 East Gun Hill Road
Post
Elevated tracks of the IRT Third Avenue and White Plains Road lines converge at the Gun Hill Road station, May 12, 1938. In 1920, the Third Avenue El was extended from Bronx Park Terminal to Gun Hill Road, where the line terminated at a lower platform of the White Plains Road Line (today’s 2/5) Gun Hill Road Station. Third Avenue El service in the Bronx was discontinued in 1973, 18 years after the line’s Manhattan tracks were dismantled. The auto repair shop at left, at the corner of Willett Avenue, is No. 695 East Gun Hill Road.

409 East Gun Hill Road
Post
409 East Gunhill Road, 1938. Amazingly this tiny wood-frame structure with the concave mansard roof still stands. Constructed circa 1899, likely as a home, it seems to be occupied by a cafe. Today it is a tire shop.
