I keep looking at this picture and should know where it is at - but I can't figure it out. The brown house on the left hand side with a diamond shaped window really looks familiar...but just because the trolley says Morrellville - it could be anywhere in the city. Oh and I also zoomed in on the street sign - but it appears to be printed only on one side or it is worn off.
It's not Morrellville, I'm pretty sure ... The Morellville line came up Fairfield Avenue to Chandler Avenue where it made its only right turn. Then Left onto Strayer Street and another left back on to Fairfield and through Cambria City back to Roxbury (usually) ... So my guess in Roxbury ...
ReplyDeleteAcross from Dively's bar the house with diamond window is the give away. The trolley was pulling into the turnound that is now the parking lot for the Creamary
ReplyDeleteYes, that's Roxbury Avenue at Derby Street.
ReplyDeleteI love when you post pictures like this so you have to think about what location of the city it is in. I know morrellville pretty well I agree with the comments above. This definitely is not morrellville. Probably roxbury like they said.
ReplyDeleteThe water tank on the hill used to be up past shady lane, this one looks different from the green one that was up there later on though.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Roxbury avenue, right beside Divelys. The left hand side of the street still looks the exact same
ReplyDeleteDavelys bar on the other corner Roxbury.
