This is an OLD topic (don't ask why I was digging back this far) but I have to say...this website link here with the old images of NYC is outstanding! Great for the history buffs!

Great site for viewing old NYC buildings and neighborhoods with actual pictures as they were over 70 years ago.

Wow, thats an impressive resource. Thanks for sharing.

I use Historic Aerials for a lot of historical research since it has old aerial images and topographical maps, but this collection is great for helping to add some depth.

Love the pic of ladder 3..just the top fly showing. I remember 39 trucks top fly sticking out the back window of the bay on E.233 st. Parked in the other bay was the Miners and sappers yellow Chevy or International rig. TNT was stored in Woodlawn. This in the 40's and early 50''s.

Just remembered to red, battery powered TNT trucks in and out of WWoodlawn gate at E.211 st and Perry Ave., The Bronx.
