A photo from 1912 shows a brownstone interior from Central Harlem that possibly belongs to a child. Even though grown up decor such as an oriental rug and decorative wallpaper are in place, one can see some toys, a pet dog and a tricycle in the background. That fireplace at 162 West 132nd Street does not look very child friendly but this was what heated up each room over a century ago for many homes.
162 West 132nd Street, Wurtz Residence circa. 1912 via the digital Collection at the Museum of the City of New York.
Fascinating to see the inside of a home like this, wonderful photo.
