This week’s #ThrowbackThursday photograph takes us back to 1900, when locals could get milk delivered to their doorsteps every morning. A stamp on the back of the photograph indicates that the photographer’s last name was McEwen and that the photo was taken in front of 987 Fulton Street, which is now the Met Food Market on the corner of Saint James Place.
