5614 Broadway
Post

Crew surveying Broadway ahead of the construction of elevated tracks, April 5, 1907. The M. Hummel Grocery is located at 5614 Broadway, in the Kingsbridge Section of the Bronx. This photo is just north of 231st Street, where a station on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line would be completed the next year. In 1907, the segment of Broadway had not yet been paved, though streetcar tracks of the C-line from Van Cortlandt Park to West Farms Square are visible. The horse-drawn carriage at left bears an advertisement for the Mount Hope Market.

Episcopal Church of the Mediator
Post

Kingsbridge Ave., at the S.W. corner of West 231st Street, showing the Church of the Mediator, October, 1927. Organized as a the Protestant Episcopal society in 1855, the first church building belonging to the The Church of the Mediator was a wood-frame structure consecrated in 1864. The current building was designed in the neo-Gothic style by Henry Vaughan, who designed the original portion of the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The church photographed here was consecrated in 1927. The church is also the guardian of the Corlear Sycamore, a massive tree on Corlear Avenue just south of West 231st Street that is considered the "oldest living thing in Kingsbridge."

Kingsbridge Branch, NYPL
Post

Kingsbridge Branch, data unknown. Designed by McKim, Mead & White and completed in 1905, the small neo-Federal Kingsbridge Branch was one of the smallest Carnegie's constructed in the city. It is only 3,700 square feet. The building, which it set far back from the sidewalk, is surrounded by a generous lawn. The library was decommissioned in 1958 when a new larger branch was built on West 231st Street. Today the structure functions as a pre-school.
