308 West 145th Street Between 8th Avenue and Edgecombe. I didn't often get as far North as this and when I did it was very early in the morning not only due to the distance but being a caucasion person wandering around an exclusively black neighborhood was absolutely certain to draw unwanted attention to myself!
These two abandoned buildings had a series of very nice carved stone keystones. This photo was the only one I managed to take and it was just barely sunrise so it was still a twilite which made the original photo very dark and grainy. A lot of photoshop manipulation later this is the best pair of images I could get out of the original Kodak 126 prints.
Photo was from circa Sept, 1976 looking towards the South on 145th Street, and at this stage I connected up with a middle aged fellow who had similar interests and more importantly- a CAR with which distance and weight could be covered a lot easier than with a bicycle or hand truck on the subway.
