The Time's Streetscape section has been pretty faithful at covering upper New York City and today talks about the "carriage row" that was in the mid 140's and St. Nicholas Avenue. As mentioned in our previous post, St. Nicholas was initially called Harlem Lane and carriage riding was a popular sport up and down the boulevard. By the 1880's residential development would encroach on the pastoral settings and the article takes a look at what still exist of those constructions. The last photo is from the Museum of the City of New York. Read the NY Times article:
