Who can guess the location of this sides street schoolhouse in Central Harlem from a photo taken back in 1920? There are no actually visual clues here but those who know the blocks by Lenox Avenue will remember a huge parking lot on one of the streets above 125th Street which was eventually sold for development a few years ago. A new construction now stands on the substantial parcel of land which is now part of the affordable housing in the area. Archival photo courtesy NYPL
