514-522 Fort Washington Avenue, ca. 1922.

This photograph perfectly captures a very specific time in the history of upper Manhattan. The large brick apartment building signals the new population and real estate boom that occurred in the first few decades of the 20th century, while the two modes of transportation seen at front (horse-drawn carriage and automobile delivery truck) denote a time period where both these vehicles were viable options.
