The current BING map shows no church at 133 Brunswick Avenue. Rather, there is a large warehouse type building at that location.THIS FROM OUR AUTOMOTIVE HISTORIAN RAY PASKIEWICZ WHO IS A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA ON EVERY THING CLASSIC AND ANTIQUE AUTOMOTIVE. MANY THANKS, RAY:

Hi Tom, First, let me say that you are blowing me away with these fantastic photographs. This photo is not circa 1939. It is 1942, or later. The car driving away, in front of the old Packard 120 Coupe, is a 1942 Chrysler. It even looks like it might be a blackout model, although the bumper is chrome plated. If you look closely, you can see the white plastic trim rings, on the wheels, that took the place of whitewalls, when you couldn't get them. The parked car facing forward, on the left, is a 1941 Hudson. So, that evidence dates it to at least 1942. Keep those photos coming. Ray Paszkiewicz

ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteGreat work as usual. This photo is mislabeled. It is not 133 Brunswick Ave, it is the 700 block at the intersection of Miller St and across from Fuld St. I instantly recognized the "church", as it was formerly used by an ambulance service during the 90's and early 2000's. It has since been demolished, but a street view of area will be instantly recognizable, as the remaining buildings are still standing.
