There used to be a row striking Victororian "painted ladies" that were located between 153rd and 155th Street on upper St. Nicholas Avenue as the above archival photo reveals. These wood frame houses appear to have been one of the more decorative ones to have remained during the first part of the 20th century but the photo was taken 3 years before they were demolished. DOB permits show that the demolition dates to be at around 1938 and there is currently just a parking lot on the site that will soon be the future home of the Faith Ringold Children's Museum:
