Fiske Terrace in Color, 1920
Brooklyn borough historian Ron Schweiger has an endless supply of stuff like this. Here, a 1920 photo looks north up Westminster Road (then East 12th before the name change) on the corner of Avenue H. It started black and white. Next, the perfect car was drawn, a few lovely apparitions floated onto the sidewalk and the picture was colored. I’d like it blown up and put on my wall, please.
