This photo of Edgewood Avenue is in my "STREETS, ROADS, HIGHWAYS" folder. I am not familiar with that area of the western section and will depend on Sally Gilman or anotherresident or former resident to identify the street on the left.k
Thanks to Sally Gilmore for this email:
| Hi Tom: I hope I can help ID the street off Edgewood. If it is looking north, which I think it is, then the street to the left is either Overbrook Avenue or Gouverneur Avenue. Both run parallel to Edgewood which is one street over from Carteret where I lived. It looks like the houses on the left side of Edgewood may have been where my cousin's family lived. It's hard to tell and I wish I could be more sure of my info. Maybe another old-timer will respond. Sally Logan Gilman |

Tom,
This picture of Edgewood Avenue, is on the "other side" of Cadwalader Park. The street to the left is North Dean Avenue. The stone wall on the right is still in place and an apartment building is at the top of the hill, with the D&R Canal behind it. I hope this helps.
Tom,
Correction, the street on the left is not North Dean Avenue, it is North Lenape Avenue.

I think the view is to the west since the right side of the photo shows the embankment of the railroad tracks and the canal. I am wondering if this section is really Niagara Alley since there is no construction or even room for construction of houses on the north side of the street in the embankment. If this is 1936 it has to be east of Parkside since nothing was built on Edgewood west of Parkside until after 1950 or so.
