The above photo from 1932 shows what the south east corner of Broadway and West 130th Street used to look like back in 1932. There apparently was a mix of frame houses, tenements and garages at this intersection in the past before everything was demolished. Today this section of Manhattanville in West Harlem is a super block of public housing. Photo courtesy

Wonderful old photo, it has human interest with the auto repair signage, mechanics and children, really bringing this sidewalk scene to life.
