Brownstown School - 16 April 1936

Lower Works

A view you don't often see - part of Lower Works across the river and all the buildings that used to be on the Roosevelt Blvd side. Note where the train tracks used to be - street level. They were that way the whole way up to Laurel Avenue until around 1915 - when they changed their location and built the underpasses. Too many people and animals were getting hit and killed - especially on Fairfield and Delaware Avenues.

Investigating Death of Brownstown Woman

 

Going thru my stuff - scanning more things in - ran across this item. The death of Mrs. Rose Von Alt of Kennedy Street - Brownstown. I forgot to mark a year - but this was in stuff from 1915 - so it's close to around that time.
